Indie Game: The Movie

Indie Game: The Movie

Indie Game: The Movie is a 2012 documentary film by Canadian filmmakers James Swirsky and Lisanne Pajot. The film is about the struggles of independent game developers Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes during the development of Super Meat Boy, Phil Fish during the development of Fez, and also Jonathan Blow, who reflects on the success of Braid. After two successful Kickstarter funds, interviews were conducted with prominent indie developers within the community. After recording over 300 hours of footage, Swirsky and Pajot decided to cut the movie down to follow the four developers selected. Their reasoning behind this was to show game development in the "past, present and future" tenses through each individual's story.

Jonathan Blow:
If you don't see a vulnerability in somebody, you're probably not relating with them on a very personal level.

Edmund McMillen:
My whole career has been me, trying to find new ways to communicate with people, because I desperately want to communicate with people, but I don't want the messy interaction of having to make friends and talk to people, because I probably don't like them.

Tommy Refenes:
The things I've sacrificed are social. You kind of have to give up something to have something great.

Edmund McMillen:
[in a Skype-call with Tommy before release day] I'll send out the press release, update the website, update my blog, update my Facebook, and call it a night... What are you going to do Tommy?

[pause]

Tommy Refenes:
Uhh... What happened? I just fell asleep.

Edmund McMillen:
Really?

Tommy Refenes:
Yeah... uh... uh... What, what did you say?

Edmund McMillen:
[laughing] Um, nothing.
