We Cause Scenes - SXSW 2013 Accepted Film

We Cause Scenes is the story of Charlie Todd, an actor who moved to New York with big dreams. Frustrated by the lack of available opportunities, Charlie began using the city as his stage, causing scenes in parks, bars, and subways, documenting these unauthorized performances online under the name Improv Everywhere. A prank collective ten years in the making, Improv Everywhere has grown from a few close-knit 22-year-olds staging guerrilla pranks on the streets to a global phenomenon incorporating hundreds of thousands of strangers. From the "No Pants Subway Ride" to the "Grand Central Freeze", Improv Everywhere's public scenes of chaos and joy have inspired pranksters all around the world.
