Jeannette Garcia and Daryl Rodriguez set out to create a
documentary about the people who make video games. They started out planning to
span the entire history of game development in one film, but soon realized that
would be impossible. So they decided to start with the early days and feature
the pioneers who started this industry, including Nolan Bushnell, David Crane
and the under-appreciated engineers at Atari. The film is called World 1-1 and
it just released earlier this week.
The night before release, the duo were gracious enough to
spend their pre-launch evening talking to Jack, Jeremy and myself on The Jacked
Up Indie & Mojo Show. They gave us some insight into how they went about
creating this film, and told a few stories that didn’t make it into the final
cut. They were delightful people and it was a pleasure having them on the show.
If you’re interested in watching the movie, you can download it on theirwebsite. I highly recommend it.
If you’re enjoying The Weekend Paper, I’d appreciate your
support on my Go Fund Me
campaign, so that I can create more video content and purchase a domain
name for the site rather than using the Blogspot template. If you don’t want to
donate, no worries, but maybe you could share the Go Fund Me page with your
friends. Thanks for reading!
