A Chat with the Directors of Indie Game – The Movie

On this very special episode of the Joy of Gaming Podcast, we chat with Lisanne Pajot and James Swirsky, the directors of Indie Game - The Movie. Their film recently premiered to a sold out house at the Sundance Film Festival, won the award for best editing, and is receiving rave reviews from audiences and critics alike.

Indie Game - The Movie chronicles the lives of four independent game developers – Edmund McMillan and Tommy Refenes, creators of Super Meat Boy, Phil Fish, developer of Fez, and Jonathan Blow, the creator of Braid, as they face the many trials and tribulations of developing their games with limited time and budget, and deal with the sometimes crushing expectations of the gaming public.

Currently, Lisanne and James are taking the film on a 12-date tour of North America, and Rich, Tim and Jordan caught up with them at the Galaxy Cinema in Raleigh, North Carolina to see the film, and to sit down to chat about the process of bringing their vision to the screen.
