Have you always dreamed of winning an Oscar? Or at least finally seeing your coworkers take on the roles of an action hero, a romantic lead, or a completely out-of-their-depth villain? Then this film contest is just the thing for you. To start, the company is divided into several film crews. Each crew chooses its own director, producer, and assistant producer. Everyone else takes on the roles of actors—either voluntarily or under a little gentle peer pressure. Each team is then given an exciting film assignment that is either general in nature or tailored specifically to the company.
Of course, no blockbuster can be made without a budget. Each film crew receives “fake dollars” that can be used to purchase props, costumes, equipment, or even professional support. So the big question is: Will the budget be invested wisely, or will it all go toward a pair of over-the-top sunglasses and a smoke machine? During filming, professional filmmakers are on hand to offer advice and support. But the best scenes often happen spontaneously—especially when someone forgets their lines, a colleague suddenly improvises, or a serious scene unintentionally turns into a comedy.
After filming wraps up, the big premiere night begins. Everyone watches all the films together on the big screen, and then the festive Oscar ceremony kicks off. Who will win the award for Best Picture? Who delivers the most compelling acting performance? And who will receive—fully deserved—the imaginary Oscar for the most spectacular slip-ups? One thing is certain: the films will continue to be a topic of conversation and a source of plenty of laughs long after the event.
