From Bedroom to Billions – the story of the UK Video Games Industry from 1979 to 1996

A 90 minute feature length documentary film telling the remarkable, true story of the British Video Games Industry between 1979 – 1996 and how the creativity and vision of a relatively small number of individuals allowed the UK to play a key, pioneering role in the shaping of the billion dollar video games industry which today, dominates the modern world’s entertainment landscape.

This interesting project is headed by Nicola and Anthony Caulfield, a writing producing and directing team from London.

From Bedrooms to Billions delves into the many elements that make up this incredible, untold British story. Through a series of interviews from those that lived through it, the film will reveal some of the remarkable stories, struggles and successes that saw our video games industry go from quite literally nothing into a major force littered with original thinkers, innovators and eccentric characters.

You can support the project financially and receive some fantastic looking perks including film posters designed by the legendary artist Oliver Frey and copies of the film itself over at IndieGogo.com.
