The National Vinema Film and Television Board Presents: The Warpath Festival

[Vin]

Just thought I'd have a little bit of fun while we wait for the end of the voting period and imagine a world where these applications were adapted into movies or television shows. Here are the first 5!

ホタル (Hotaru!)
Genre: Sports Anime
Plot: It's the Beastlympics, the quadrennial sporting competition featuring athletes from across the globe. Marunae is an up-and-coming member of the Whitelands track and field team ready to prove herself at her first ever Beastlympics. However, scrutiny on the young arctic hare is high: despite her natural talent, some question her motivation and dedication. Everything changes when she meets Heron, a basketball star from the Whitelands' greatest rival, the Southlands. Maru knows that being caught with him could spell the end of her international career, but she can't resist his lanky charm. Can they keep their relationship a secret? And can they teach each other that love is the strongest bond of all?

Survivor: Whitelands
Genre: Reality TV
Plot: 16 contestants! 36 days! One! Sole Survivor! In this reality game show, contestants are dumped into the wilderness of the Whitelands to play the ultimate game of skill and strategy. Bahto intends to beat them all not with cunning or guile, but with the power of love, to show the kids of the world that maybe you don't have to be a jerk to get ahead in life. Will Bahto last all 36 days and be crowned the Sole Survivor, or will he fall tragically short?

The Scales of Justice
Genre: Buddy Cop Comedy
Plot: Wilder is a rookie cop straight out of the academy, with a fast mouth and a penchant for getting himself into a tight spot. He gets teamed up with Kwetzacoatl, an old-school cop who's seen it all. Can a young mouse teach an old gator new tricks, or will this unlikely duo crash and burn?

The Last Laugh
Genre: Classic  Scorcese Anti-Hero
Plot: Tells the life story of Lancelocke, otherwise known as Lance, otherwise known as Locke. Raised in the slums, Locke scraped and clawed his way from the bottom of the pile all the way to the top. Once a pitiful orphan fighting for scraps on the streets, now Locke is the most successful CEO in the city, with a lifestyle to kill for. Problem is, when you've fought as hard as Locke has you're bound to leave one too many bodies trailing in your wake...and have one too many ghosts coming back to haunt you.

Silence of the Lamps
Genre: Psychological Horror
Plot: Somebeast has been eating poor innocent townfolk and using their remains as candle fuel all across the Whitelands, and the police have been unable to come even close to solving the case. Enter Augur Wren, the grizzled ex-detective with a keen eye for finding clues that most beasts overlook. Some even claim her powers are psychic. Can Wren hunt down the killer and bring them to justice before time runs out and they strike their next victim?

With Thunderous Applause
Genre: Political Thriller (Limited Series)
Plot: Scorpio is a politician with a big smile, bigger promises, and even bigger ambitions. Of course, politics is a murky business, and it's hard to play the game clean. While he refuses to get his own hands dirty— he would never let his constituents down like that— a raised eyebrow here and a vaguely sinister hypothetical question there are often followed by obstacles in Scorpio's path being removed suddenly and rather violently.

You Otter Be Careful What You Fish For

When an angel hears his plea, he is whisked away to an alternate reality where he was born in the South. The longer he spends in this new reality, he begins to realize how much he misses the old one. Can he learn the true meaning of Christmas and find his way home, or will he be trapped in the South forever?
