The film is a fictitious story of Reginald Winters, founder of online gaming company Mendora Group, who allowed a “brutal and untimely death of his Jewel of Mendora game character (Poanbone The Smashivator) to occur by using a non-optimal internet service provider. “I thought the premise was funny, smart and timely”, says Hamilton. “All of us can relate to the blurring of the lines between online life and real life and I thought this was a funny way to comment on it.” See the embedded video below.
