The film making of XCZONE.TV experiments with contracting styles of cinéma vérité and escapism to develop tension, stylized rhythm, and inertia. It employs a unique skill-set; combining athleticism and artistry by placing the camera in the same hands as those personally engaged in the experience. The in-action tracking cinemography makes clear the distinction between involvement and commitment for the film making.
