Challenge: Can You Write a Long Story on Twitter in Eight Tweets?

Screenwriter, cartoonist, and editor Manuel Bartual takes on this Domestika social media challenge

Manuel Bartual (@manuelbartual) has many talents, but above all, he considers himself a storyteller. He also knows that there’s more than just one way to bring a narrative to life, and so he uses a range of diverse mediums including podcasts, cinema, novels, and social media. In 2017, he wrote a fictional story through a series of Twitter threads that quickly went viral, becoming a Worldwide Twitter Trend and attracting hundreds of thousands of followers who now eagerly await each post.

In this Domestika Challenge, we put his Twitter skills to the test by surprising him with groups of 7 words, picked at random, which he must use to create a story using no more than eight Tweets.

Will he succeed? Find out in the video below:
