Whoa! A Couple More SXSW Reviews...

Crave Online:  We are on our way from the wonderful craziness that is SXSW to the hometown screening of Tommy Refenes in Asheville, NC.  While waiting in the airport, the film just recieved this fantastic review from Fred Topel at Crave Online...

This is my favorite film of SXSW and would have been my favorite film at Sundance if I’d seen it there this year. It’s not just that it’s a thoroughly engaging subject. The filmmaking is tense and emotional with beautiful cinematography, just everything you want a movie to be.

SXSW Reaction

Last night, we did our first SXSW screening here in Austin. Despite the somewhat dreary weather, it was a pretty full house and a really nice audience.  Some of whom decided to write about the film.  Here's some of the feedback to our Texas debut!

"Joystick Joy"
The Austin Chronicle

"[IGTM] recaptured the rapturous marvel that games can invoke" 
The Venture

One does not need to know the difference between a Flash game, an Xbox or an Atari to appreciate the vision, passion and drive of the subjects of “Indie Game: The Movie 
Austin 360

"It was easy to get sucked into this film and ride the emotional roller coaster of independent game development." 
The Bellhop

Indie Game: The Movie will go a long way towards elevating games as a legit art. Elegant & engrossing (even for a nongamer)
Stephen Saito

INDIE GAME THE MOVIE was so ridiculously inspiring. A great tribute to the NES gen and the creatives it inspired. To creativity in general.
