About FilmGap

FilmGap came from a game I used to play on long car rides as far back as 1997. In my head, I’d try to connect actors from different movies—one starting actor, one final actor. This was before smartphones, so I just used what I remembered from watching movies growing up and what was out at the time.

When I got older, I’d play it at bars with my partner when we were bored. We’d challenge each other to find the shortest path.

It wasn’t until the summer of 2025 that I realized it would be fun to build it into a real game others could play, with actual rules and daily challenges. So here we are.
