In The Pickup Game, award-winning directors Matthew & Barnaby O’Connor, along with Emmy nominated executive producer Stephen Robert Morse bring to the screen a horrifying yet gripping piece of investigative journalism.

The film dives headfirst into the underground subculture of the pickup industry where self-proclaimed internet gurus, coach the art of seduction. Boasting 100% success guaranteed instructors embed in their students a questionable concoction of psychological trickery, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and an alpha male mindset to achieve their objective.

From its glossy exterior where courses are packaged as self-improvement, to the dark underbelly of sexual assault, pyramid scheme marketing, and secret collusion, The Pickup Game pulls back the curtain to reveal a world that is not only fascinating but horrific in equal measure.
