In December 2023, thirteen-year-old Willis Gibson, also known as Blue Scuti, did something that no other human has ever done — he beat the 40-year-old game Tetris while streaming live from his bedroom in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Then his life changed overnight.
Willis went from days of homework and clarinet practice to the world of gaming as his feat launched his career as a competitive Tetris gamer. This coming-of-age story follows Willis’ journey as he navigates this exciting new world with his family’s support, making new friends along the way. Exploring themes of grief, the power of community and the wild world of competitive Tetris, Tribeca alum Chris Moukabel crafts a heartwarming and thrilling documentary, inviting viewers to witness the rise of an unexpected internet legend.—Faridah Gbadamosi
