A cold-hearted journalist records a documentary about a very talented e-sport player until she discovers the hardness of being born unlucky.
Andres_ Suggest it's better if she does a documentary (however set up) dual stories lines contrasting the winner AND the loser. Whatever, whose story is it: the video journalist, the jock who is a winner, or the nobody who is a loser? Who owns the character arc? What are the stakes for the journalisRead more

What’s are the stakes? Why MUST they figure out how to break the light speed barrier NOW? What is lost (materially not just ego gratification) if they fail? What’s lost if they succeed but their technology is stolen?
