What if you only had yourself to blame for how a film ended? At this year’s New York Tribeca Film Festival, Possibilia’s audience were the first ever to watch a non-linear seamless film. This meant viewers could decide the fate of protagonists Polly (Zoe Jarman) and Rick (Alex Karpovksy) from a possible 30 alternative scenarios.

The interactive film, written and directed by DANIELS and produced by interactive storytelling pioneers Interlude (the brains behind the critically acclaimed interactive video for Bob Dylan’s ‘Like a Rolling Stone’) in collaboration with creative think tank Prettybird, allows viewers to move seamlessly between scenarios as many times as they like by clicking the thumbnails of different vignettes around the screen.

For the back seat directors out there, this marks the dawn of a new viewer/director dynamic, whereby ‘choosing your own adventure,’ action can be orchestrated as you see fit.

Google Creative Lab created an interactive cube that lets the audience decide when to switch sub-plot. By twisting and turning a handheld cork cube, viewers decide when and how to move from story to story.
