I Was a Winner
A confession of three compulsive gamers presented in three spaces, characteristic for the virtual environment of each of them. The characters hidden in the bodies of their avatars talk about what addiction to video games led them to and to what extent it deconstructed their happy, so far, lives. For some, a game was an escape, for others a challenge, but it turned out a trap for all. In his film with the cynical title I Was a Winner, Odell shows the devastating power of an addition and the price one pays for it.
