Tagline

The devs of 'Not For Broadcast' take us behind the scenes, as they attempt to produce an FMV game during a global pandemic.

Synopsis

Meet the team behind the award-winning, satirical, propaganda simulator 'Not For Broadcast' - a Full Motion Video TV sim with a cast of over 150 actors - as they reveal how exactly they managed to produce two, video-filled updates of their game during a global pandemic. Follow the unexpected journey as film shoots are canceled three days out, a writer is isolated in Australia, a bonus level is filmed entirely remotely, and slowly, masked actors return to a full-scale, managed production. The theatres may be closed, but the news will always be live.
