Indie Game: The Movie

INDIE GAME: THE MOVIE (2012) - May 3, 2012
Though the satellite feed kept infuriatingly cutting out (I probably missed about five minutes)
this was a really fascinating look at the lives of people who have poured so much of themselves into their creative output -- into one major make-or-break project (in fact, Blow literally says that if he can't finish the game, he'll kill himself -- he's joking, but there does seem to be a glimmer of "I'm kind of joking, but I'm kind of not").  It's about videogames, but what makes it work so well is the personal connection we form with these people.  I'm not sure that I've ever seen such a visceral portrait of what it is to pour so much of yourself into something.  ***1/2
