Released in 2010, Silly Little Game is a documentary film directed by Adam Kurland, running about 53 minutes. “Their fantasy became our obsession” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Fantasy Sports is estimated to be a $4 billion industry that boasts over 30 million participants and a league for almost every sport imaginable. But for all this success, the story of the game’s inception is little known. The modern fantasy leagues can be traced back to a group of writers and academics who met at La Rotisserie Francaise in New York City to form a baseball league of their own: The Rotisserie League. The game quickly grew in popularity, and with the growing use and attractiveness of the Internet, the “founding fathers” never foresaw how their creation would take off and ultimately leave them behind. Innovative filmmakers Adam Kurland and Lucas Jansen will chronicle the early development and ultimate explosion of Rotisserie Baseball, and shine a light on its mostly unnoticed innovators.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.1/10, Silly Little Game has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
