THe Project
My intention for you when you watch this movie is that you will feel inspired and connect in an even deeper way to your inner child, your creativity and imagination. Together we'll amplify creativity in the world.
THe FILM
MY SECRET COUNTRY is a sweet ode to the power of play, imagination and creativity that journeys into the imagination of three children. The charms of their creativity are revealed when we meet their imaginary friends — brought to life in 2D animation — who soon discover desserts around the world have gone missing. A nefarious creature named Kritik is suspected, and the pretend companions realize — as in all good fairy tales - they must find three magical ingredients to save delectable desserts from imminent extinction. This allegorical tale and feature-length hybrid documentary will spark wonder in children and adults a
THe MINECRAFT GAME
Inspired by the film, we took the theme of dessert going extinct and placed it into a Minecraft game where players are invited to take an active role in saving dessert from extinction by defeating specific challenges. The game is designed to mirror the creative process: Inspire, Imagine, Play, Build, Share, and each player in this 3-player game must get past the inner critic (we call it The KRITIK) with help from the inner muse (MYOOS).
The game and the documentary are interlinked. The game invites the players to watch a few clips from the film in order to meet all of the challenges and vice versa.
For those of you unfamiliar with Minecraft, after Tetris, it's the best selling game in the history of gaming and children absolutely love it. It’s a game where you dig, mine and build different kinds of 3D blocks, kind of like Legos, except that it’s in a virtual world.
