Though disbanded, the five members of the all-female esports team Dollhouse can’t deny their passion for gaming – or their camaraderie – and decide to get the gang back together for one last shot at greatness. Facing a myriad of logistical and political obstacles, the rechristened Gamer Girls go indie, launching their own competition at a local teahouse and breathing new life into the gaming scene. However, when the e-gaming authority threatens to bar the girls from competing entirely, all bets are off and they find themselves in a vicious battle for their virtual lives.
The directorial debut of multidisciplinary creative Veronica Bassetto and professional screenwriter Sophie Yang, GAMER GIRLS offers an exciting blend of high-stakes competitive gaming with the rich flavor of old school Hong Kong culture. Balancing interpersonal drama with the flashy spectacle of its virtual fantasy world, the film is an impassioned thrill ride of inspiring dreams, ambitions and friendship.
“A remarkable feat, with Bassetto and Yang seamlessly transforming the streets of Hong Kong into a dystopian cyberpunk world... a captivating, effects-driven drama.” –South China Morning Post
DIRECTED BY VERONICA BASSETTO & SOPHIE YANG
