The must-see movie for independent game developers is now available on iTunes, Steam (as an Adobe AIR application), or as DRM-free Direct Download. As mentioned in an earlier post, I attended one of the screenings, and it’s thoroughly exciting to watch.
INDIE GAME: THE MOVIE, directed by Lisanne Pajot and James Swirsky, looks at the underdogs of the video game industry, indie game developers, who sacrifice money, health and sanity to realize their lifelong dreams of sharing their creative visions with the world. Following the making of the games SUPER MEAT BOY, FEZ and BRAID, this Sundance award-winning film captures the tension and drama by focusing on these developers’ vulnerability and obsessive quest to express themselves through a 21st-century art form.

It’s rated at 100% as the top movie on Rotten Tomatos, named ‘Critics’ Pick’ by the New York Times, and optioned by HBO & Scott Rudin as the premise for a potential HBO dramatic television series.
“Indie Game: The Movie is definitely worth your time, and should be seen by everyone in the video game industry on the publisher, developer, and consumer sides.” [Read more on G4TV]
