Eric Schweig – Inheritance (2015)
A high stakes mystery/thriller starring Blackstone’s Eric Schweig, INHERITANCE is an interactive “Pick Your Path” web series (ie Choose-Your-Own-Adventure) inspired by a legend of hidden Native treasure. Currently pitching for financing, the series would be a blend between a live-action narrative series like “24” and a video game like “The Walking Dead: TellTales”, and at the end of every 2-3 minute episode YOU must decide what to do next. The web of possible scenarios quickly becomes an allegory that cuts to the heart of current land claim issues and reconciliation for unceded First Nations territory. Who’s right, who’s wrong, and who is deserving of what. Violence, arbitration, or concession – you decide. Only one thing is certain: no one decides what they inherit.
