Synopsis

With the twenty-first century comes a new breed of struggling independent artist: the indie game designer. Refusing to toil for major developers, these innovators independently conceive, design, and program their distinctly personal games in the hope that they, too, may find success. —Sundance Film Festival

Surprisingly insightful documentary chronicling independent video game designers' rocky roads to creating memorable video games for wide audiences against seemingly all odds. Perceptive and deeply personal, the film is as much about the behind the scenes of the video game industry as it is about passionate entrepreneurs whose biggest obstacles are often themselves and their own insecurities.
