An amazing documentary about the world of independent video game developing.
Indie Game: The Movie is a documentary that deals with the struggles and hardships that plague the life of the independent video game developer. The basic premise is that the film crew follows two groups of people and watches them as they go through the hard work and trials associated with trying to get their projects completed.
One pair, that of Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes, are racing the clock to release their game, Super Meat Boy. The other part of the story involves Phil Fish (and the occasional visit with his comrades in arms) as he attempts to get the long-delayed Fez ready for a gaming expo. In the background are some interviews with Jonathan Blow, famous for his renowned Braid game. All together, these three stories come together to create one of the most compelling documentaries I have ever seen.
