Follow the creation of the games Super Meat Boy, Braid and FEZ through this Sundance award-winning feature documentary. Critic’s Pick of the New York Times and declared a “Must See” by Ain’t It Cool News. Watch the full theatrical cut in 1080p HD.

After almost two years of painstaking work, designer Edmund McMillen and programmer Tommy Refenes await the release of their first major game for Xbox, Super Meat Boy—the adventures of a skinless boy in search of his girlfriend, who is made of bandages. At PAX, a major video-game expo, developer Phil Fish unveils his highly anticipated, four-years-in-the-making FEZ. Jonathan Blow considers beginning a new game after creating Braid, one of the highest-rated games of all time.

First-time filmmaking duo Lisanne Pajot and James Swirsky capture the emotional journey of these developers as they sacrifice money, health and sanity to realize their lifelong dreams of sharing their games with the world. Four developers, three games, and one ultimate goal— to express oneself through a video game.

1080p too, got to love Valve.

£6.29 - Ordered :)
 
Love Braid, SMB and interested if FEZ makes it to PC. Am just a bigger Indie fan than when I posted before, so I'll be sure to pre-order soon, thanks :)

I'm really interested to see how this pans out, not just because the film itself sounds good but because I firmly believe that Valve could expand their content distribution platform to incorporate other media types such as films and tv shows.
 
£6 for a movie about making mostly terrible games? No thanks...

.. Really. How are the majority of indie games terrible?
I'd say they are produced to a much higher standard than most AAA titles overall, and it's a shame that you think otherwise. Have you played anything other than minecraft that's indie btw?
