Neymar Jr, the Brazilian soccer star, with 50M social media followers, is the first player to have a YouTube channel where he broadcasts original content produced by himself. “Life Outside the Fields”, a three-seasons documentary series nominated for an International Digital Emmy®, messed-up with traditional media taking from Sunday Night TV shows the most relevant content about the most important player in Brazil, to release it exclusively on his own channel, with editorial independence. The aim: to establish a direct connection between NJR and his fans, unmediated by the press, produced with his own voice, relatable to anyone – easing the pressure over him months before the World Cup. To accomplish it, producers working alongside the athlete developed a special format: observational documentary episodes shot by a small crew, with additional material produced by Neymar himself, on his cell phone. The panel will explore this film experience, discussing the format, its results and challenges.
