It is an essential watch for anyone interested in video games and the history of the biggest entertainment industry on earth. The film investigates why Sony decided to enter the video games business, when it was already dominated by both Nintendo and Sega, who not only produced their own hardware but made and published fantastic games. To compete, Sony would not only have to design and build a new piece of hardware, but they would have to find a way to persuade the game development industry to take a chance and develop games for it long before it even came out!

A tantalizing documentary following the mental and physical toll it takes being an eSport athlete. Taking a focus on eSports and the unrelenting grind it takes to reach the top tier. It follows competitive eSport players of all tiers and exploring the major drawbacks that comes with competing. As well as their routine when training for a game and the backend that holds everything up. Something that not many people even know about.Behind the Scenes of Palo Alto

IMDB 5.2 | Apr , 2014
This feature length documentary explores the queer side of gaming culture and the game industry's LGBTQ presence. The GaymerX convention that took place in 2013 was a huge step forward for the queer geek community being recognized on a worldwide industry scale. In the same year, more popular mainstream and indie games featured a greater amount of gay and lesbian characters than ever before, helping with visibility and acceptance. The video games universe will only continue to improve and diversify both in its community and industry if we elevate the conversation about inclusion and respecting one another - not in spite of our gay geekiness, but because of it!Making 'The Shining'
