Ryan Chattaway laid down a 24 hour movie marathon challenge on YouTube: do a 24 hour movie marathon, follow his rules, and record your experience on YouTube! I think that’s a pretty interesting twist to the normal 24 hour movie marathon experience.
Below is his 2013 (second annual) call-to-action (and here is the original 2012 announcement in case you are interested).
His rules are:
- Watch one film over 180 minutes
- Watch one film you have no interest in watching
- Watch one best picture academy award
- Watch one of your favorite films
Below is his recording of his own 2012 marathon.
I like Ryan’s idea. Even though he did his marathon alone, he gets to share his experience virtually via YouTube, and so does everyone else performing his challenge. Having a social experience was always the most fun part of a movie marathon to me.
I don’t think anything can replace the in-person party aspect I love so much. However, extending the experience virtually is an excellent idea. I think I’ll give vlogging a try during my 2014 movie marathon.
If you liked Ryan’s rules, check out the 24-hour movie marathon rules I live by!
