I must apologize to the gamers who may have been lured here expecting an ode to the humble splitscreen mode. Perhaps my choice of post title was a little ambiguous. This is about love, and where there is love, there is a often a story about it. This one just so happens to be told in splitscreen.
Directed by James W Griffiths and shot entirely on the N8 smartphone for the Nokia Shorts 2011 competition, the short film tells the story of two long-distance lovers whose separate lives are destined to intersect. It’s predictable but endearing nonetheless, see Splitscreen: A Love Story below.
Griffiths’ short film took first place in the competition. You can see the other submissions on Vimeo.

Dammit! You better be sorry! I came here looking for gaming awesomeness and all I get is this crappy “love” thing? PFFT! :pissedoff:
Actually, I haven’t watched the video yet… but will shortly and I’m sure I will love it because you only handpick the good shit Mr.Prawn ;_
– you fooled me! I was thinking “Awww yeah! Two hot ladies playing Gears of War 2!” :zombiekiller:
Lol Nick, was it like that other time I tricked you into seeing Robert Downey Jr as a pinup model?
In any case chaps, I apologize most sincerely. How shall I make it up to you – a Subaru WRX STI smashing the Isle of Man TT lap record? Or perhaps a wonderful Sound of Music flashmob in Antwerp?
The Subaru video will do, thank you.
Well deserved first place.
“Video no longer available due to copywrite claim”? Eish? I hope that’s not as serious as it sounds!
Strange. Perhaps it was not meant to leave the confines of Vimeo. In any case, I’ve updated the post with a working video.
Ahhhh, a bit reminiscent of 500 Days of Summer :)
