Indie Game: The Movie
Indie Game follows the lives and struggles of Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes, the creators of independent game sensation Super Meat Boy, Phil Fish, who created the hotly-discussed puzzle-platformer Fez, and Jonathan Blow, whose game Braid is amongst the indie gaming world's original keystone titles. The film delves deeply into the incredibly intimate and time-consuming process of producing indie video games, as well as the philosophies and methods that separate these titles from mainstream works. Indie Game is available to watch on Netflix.
