Hey folks,
It was great meeting some of you at the meeting this past week. For
those of you that couldn't make it, I'm going to be hosting a one-
night-only screening of the critically acclaimed independent
documentary film INDIE GAME: THE MOVIE. IGTM was an official selection
of the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and the 2012 South By Southwest
Film Festival, so you know it kicks butt. It even won the World Cinema
Documentary Editing Award at Sundance. Seriously, the editing alone
will blow you away.
If you're not familiar with the movie, it's about a handful of indie
game devs and their struggles to create and market their games under
the Internet microscope, with all of the personal and emotional risk
that comes with it. You can see trailers and other good stuff at
http://indiegamethemovie.com.
So like I said, I'm hosting it here in Salt Lake City for one
screening only, on THURSDAY, MAY 31, 2012 at 7:30PM at Brewvies Cinema
Pub. Tickets are free (seriously, free) and first come-first served,
so get your tickets soon. Seats are extremely limited!
You can reserve your tickets here: <

Also, since this is a movie about indie game development, I wanted to
make it an opportunity for local indie game devs to showcase a game of
theirs (even if it's not yet finished). Nothing much, just a 30-45
second trailer of a game you'd like to push. I'll collect as many as I
can, and string them together for a series of trailers before the
movie starts (kind of like the movie trailer thing before the feature
presentation).
So if you want to include a short trailer of yours, you have less than
three weeks to get one together. If you would like to include one,
just reply here or let me know by email at slcrubes at gmail dot com.
Please note: Brewvies is only for adults age 21 or over, so no kids.
Also, you should show up to check in at Brewvies no later than 7:15PM
the night of the show. After 7:15PM, any unclaimed reserved tickets
may be returned to the general pool to be redistributed if there are
any people waiting at the door.
Hope to see you there!
Mike
