The Makers of Metagame
Travis Beauchamp
Travis started his film career in 2008 as an associate producer for InCA Production on Keeping Score. In 2011 he founded the production house East Point Pictures. In 2013, he released directly to YouTube ‘The Smash Brothers’; a nine part documentary series. It immediately garnered widespread praise in the press and in gaming communities and is regarded as one of the best esport documentaries of all time. Currently listed at #1 on the DailyDots recent 2019 ranking of esport documentaries, the original Smash Brothers documentary has been seen over 7 million times.
Travis brings characters to life as a renowned storyteller, producer, videographer, and editor. He wrote, shot, directed, and edited ‘Metagame’ between 2014 and 2020.
Christopher Brown
Chris ran his first Melee tournament in 2004 and a year later began writing feature content for Major League Gaming. In 2006 he covered and provided live commentary for Melee during the MLG Pro Circuit. Since then Chris has run hundreds of tournaments and is considered one of the top 10 Smash tournament organizers of all time. In 2012 Chris acquired the largest Smash Brothers fan site on the internet, SmashBoards.com and subsequently launched a sister site for Splatoon (squidboards.com) in 2015.
Chris was honored in 2017 as a member of 425 Businesses 30-under-30 for his work growing the Pokémon video game championship series and having launched Pokémon’s livestreaming initiatives. He is currently the Director of Esports and Events at Pokémon.
After many years as executive producer, in 2020 Chris co-founded with Travis and Peter Metagame Documentary LLC.
Peter Grant Sr.
Peter finished his JD at the University of Texas and his PhD from Harvard and quickly made a name for himself as one of the country’s top health care attorneys. He is the former legal counsel to the American Medical Group Association, Hospital Council of Northern and Central California, the IPA Association of America, and the Integrated Healthcare Association. In 1998 he founded Global Health Care LLC where he is currently chairman and CEO overseeing global health care conferences.
Peter has helped provide guidance and mentorship to Chris and Travis and after years of support co-founded Metagame Documentary LLC in 2020.
