Who Gets to Control the Future?

The corporation that controls the world versus the creator ecosystem that builds new ones.

Overall Campaign Hashtags:
#DarkstarMultimedia #UmbrellaVsDarkstar

Use both hashtags with every challenge, along with the tags and hashtags required by the individual game.

Umbrella Corporation represents control, gatekeeping, exploitation, and systems designed to turn communities into corporate zombies.

Darkstar Multimedia represents independent creators, accessibility, imagination, collaboration, and creator-owned worlds. We do not wait for permission to create the future. We build it together.

This interactive campaign brings that conflict to life through five community games:

Build a character with 3 Words and bring awareness to Darkstar Multimedia's mission.
Cut an AWE promo with 5 Words and Help Adaptive Wrestling Entertainment be known.
Hijack the Headlines for Dark Star Radio to let us bring music to their ears.
Make the fight sound ridiculous in the Dojo Dub-Off for Adaptive Unbound Dojo.
Bring awareness to Adia Med’s clinical studies with Restore the Signal.

You do not need to be a wrestler, broadcaster, martial artist, researcher, or professional performer to participate. Choose a challenge, follow its rules, create your response, and pass the game to someone else.

Some challenges also support organizations, research, and causes that deserve greater awareness. Darkstar Multimedia only creates cause-based campaigns for missions I genuinely believe in. Support is not automatic. If you want to join the fight against Umbrella, be prepared to tell me why your cause matters.
