Hunter&Game offers viewers a glimpse into the emerging world of the New Electronic Brooklyn Underground scene. We follow Hunter&Game and they endeavour to make a name for themselves in the music industry. As well as using actors, director Kevin Alexander asked real bands to contribute to the movie including Ava Luna, Prince Rama, Splash!, Teams, Sleepover & Portable Sunsets.

Described in the directors own words, Hunter&Game is briefly summed up "as Spinal Tap in Bushwick for millennials."

To make the movie Director Kevin Alexander immersed himself into the music scene, we asked him about the comparisons of launching a film and music career: "I think it's easier to start a band and play some shows and a get a little recognition than it is to make a film. Even with a low budget film, it's a much more expensive endeavour. However, I think it's equally difficult in both music and film to break into the industry. There's so much stuff out there and it's easy to get lost in the glut."

Following in the footsteps of Flight of the Conchords, Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee & This Is Spinal Tap, it could be quite easy to pigeonhole the film as something more 'mock' than 'doc' but Kevin explains how he wanted to give a different twist on the format: "There are definitely elements of Flight of the Conchords and Spinal Tap in Hunter&Game. (I watched Spinal Tap several times growing up.) The biggest difference is that Hunter&Game is not explicitly a comedy. Yes, it is meant to be funny, but we were trying to go for a convincing realism for most of the film."
