Eighteen minutes and ten seconds. That’s how long it took Narcissa Wright to complete The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in a record-breaking speed-run, a video game that usually takes weeks to finish. Over 18,000 viewers tuned in to watch her make history, but after coming out as trans, the subscriber count slowly dwindles down and interview requests stop. As she struggles to reclaim her digital throne, hope comes in the form of a blossoming romance IRL. But game mechanic hacks don’t apply to real life, and Narcissa is overwhelmed by navigating the world and relationships. Employing a framework that embeds you into the seductive world of voyeuristic live streaming, director Jane M. Wagner’s directorial debut provides a window into isolation, toxic gaming culture, internet transphobia, social media addiction, and how all of these collide to manifest in an heroic mental health journey that’s all too relatable.
