Audience-participation interactive system
The most unique feature of this film is that the winner of the rap battle that unfolds on the screen is determined by the votes of the audience in the movie theater. The audience votes in real time via a smartphone app, and the story progresses according to the option with the highest number of votes. It is a participatory movie experience, rather than a passive viewing experience.
In other words, unlike a support performance, the development and ending of the story changes with each screening depending on the choices made by each audience member, providing a new kind of participatory film experience.
