Star Nation is an upcoming documentary focusing on the eSports community of Starcraft II. It will attempt to give us the perspective of every type of individual involved in the Starcraft community, including professional players, people trying to break into the professional scene, the spectators who attend tournaments, the people playing in local LAN tournaments, play-by-play casters on YouTube and those who stream games full-time on justin.tv, the guys who put on these tournaments, the people making a living from coaching other players, team managers, and the men and women who developed the original StarCraft game and now StarCraft II. It will be directed and produced by Justin Agnew and is slated for a late 2012 to early 2013 release.

Justin Agnew is an architectural designer from Shorewood, MN. He received a Master of Architecture degree from North Dakota State University in 2009, but after the construction and design sector experienced major economic hits, he decided to reinvest his skills in an industry with better structural integrity (get it?!). Videography has captivated him since his grade school days, when he spent hours upon hours filming improvisational short films with his friends (see The Case of the Missing Entertainment System, 2001). He has now set his sights on making a meaningful and compelling piece of work. Star Nation is his debut documentary film.

wooo idra and huk i loved the showmatch they did before gsl3!!

Sounds like he knows good basics. I think it would be imperative that he goes to korea and features starcraft 1 at least as an image of how HUGE it could get. Footage from stadiums in the golden era would not go amiss in the theme.
I don't know this guy tho is he an enthusiast or an entrepreneur?

According to his webpage this is his first documentary. I assume he is quite the enthusiast.

Heres hoping! also says he has the backing of pros to do coaching and sign mousepads... Great way to get (forbidden word) which i hope he does so he can go to korea! I would pay a significant (forbidden word) to have a 15 second clip in the credits.

good for esports

I think its EXTREMELY weird that both this documentary and My Life for Aiur went within 24 hours of eachother. We've been waiting years for a documentary.

Wow, this looks fantastic! And yeah, it is kind of odd that My Life For Aiur also went live just recently too. I hope to hear some updates from the filmmaker soon, especially after the shoutout he got on SotG last night.

Yeah, for awhile I was confusing this with Live for Aiur.

Trailer looks great and I like how he interviews the aspiring pros as well as the established pros. I also like his concept, it seems like he wants to show a lot of humanity to the sc scene.

I would love this. This could open up so much insight into the gaming community.

While this is only a trailer, I really like the direction it takes. It's obviously geared toward people not as familiar with SC and I think it does a fantastic job of appealing to non-gamers and conveying(even in this short trailer) the passion and dedication that generate such enthusiasm around SC. My only concern with a longer documentary is getting lost in the talking heads. Lots of different voices is good because it reinforces the idea of SC as a sport comprised of a diverse group of people, but too many voices just weigh down the audience. Obviously it was easy to us to follow because we love SC and I knew everyone on the screen. But had I been unfamiliar with the scene, more voices over a longer period of time might have been too much for me to handle and I might not take away as much as say the same documentary with a smaller interview pool. Perhaps this is just me, but when I watch a film, I want to connect with the people on screen, and having constantly rotating faces makes that hard to do.

Still, a well-done trailer with a strong approach that I think can appeal a wide audience.
