Methods of Revolution is a film currently being developed by Alex Hall. It was first announced on April 26, 2012 and officially funded by Kickstarter on May 27. Its release date was originally set for late 2012, but is currently unknown.
Synopsis
"Methods of Revolution is an independent fiction film that follows four graduating students in their early twenties as they all reach a similar realization about their lives - they feel like they aren't living up to their potential. They feel as though life is slowly pushing them towards a path that they never expected they'd end up on and the four begin a powerful, introspective journey to find a greater purpose in life."—Methods of Revolution Kickstarter
The premise of the film was kept intentionally vague throughout production so as not to staunch the potential impact on its viewers. Virtually nothing is known of its plot outside of the above quote. In 2020, several elements of the film's material were used in the Awakening Arc, leading to speculation that the plots are related and that the film will be canon to the Haunted Majora's Mask Cartridge story.
Development
Through a series of tweets on April 24[2] and 25[3], Alex Hall teased an announcement to be made on April 26, 2012. On April 26, he officially announced Methods of Revolution and its Kickstarter in a video uploaded to the Jadusable channel[4]. The Kickstarter campaign aimed to raise $9,840 in order to cover production costs. At the time of the campaign's end, a total of $10,107 had been pledged to the project. Casting officially began on July 31. From this point forward, little to no production details exist, though it is maintained that the film is actively being produced as of 2019.
Promotional material
On May 11, Alex uploaded a video titled The "Truth about Jadusable and Methods.wmv," in which he describes that the content in the film will not necessarily be connected to the ARG. The next day, he uploaded "The Message Board Explained," which helps describe the message board mechanic to be introduced on the upcoming website for the film. The website, methodsofrevolution.com, was officially launched on May 15. The same day, he uploaded another video titled "An Important Announcement," in which he describes that once the Kickstarter campaign reaches $7000, an interested party will provide the remaining funds needed to reach the goal.
Alex held an AMA on May 12, in which he discussed the nature of the project at length, as well as the future of the ARG. At 6:00pm on May 25, Alex began a 40-hour-long endurance stream on the BroGaming Twitch channel, ending at 11:00am on May 27, the day the Kickstarter ended. During the stream, he played The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
