Camp Unplug
Camp Unplug was a series of thirty-six Vines which follow thirteen Viners who grudgingly attend a "digital detox camp", filmed at Camp Wandawega. Described as Vine's "first long-form original series", Camp Unplug was released on June 23, 2016, during VidCon, after the six-second limit on Vines were lifted. It was soon looped over 41 million times the following week.[1][2][3] It was twenty-two minutes in length. Camp Unplug was written by Viners Aaron Chewning and Chris Melberger, and produced by Jeremy Cabalona and Karyn Spencer.[4] The series was where future collaborators Drew Gooden and Danny Gonzalez first met.[5]
Camp Unplug received three nominations at the 6th Streamy Awards and was a finalist for Web Series at the 9th Shorty Awards.
