Full Plot Details

'From Bedrooms to Billions' is a 2 and a half hour feature length documentary movie telling the remarkable, true story of the British Video Games Industry from 1979 to the present day. Developments in computer technology in the UK of the late 70's early 80's helped inspire a generation of small team enthusiasts, hobbyists, school kids, bedroom coders and entrepreneurs to make and release some truly classic games. 'From Bedrooms to Billions' tells the story of 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. 'From Bedrooms to Billions' is the first to attempt to bring this amazing story together. Featuring interviews with key contributors to the UK story such as Peter Molyneux, Jeff Minter, David Braben, David Perry, Mark Healey, Jason Kingsley and many others from across video game development, publishing and journalism from over the last 40 years, combined with compelling archive. 'From Bedrooms to Billions' reveals some of the remarkable stories, struggles and successes that saw the UK video games industry go from quite literally nothing into a major force littered with original thinkers, innovators and eccentric characters. The film takes you on a wonderful journey through those early 8 bit years, the transition into the 16bit era and PC, the influence of the Japanese and American consoles and the availability of finance, right through to the present day of triple AAA games, indie development and the future. 'From Bedrooms to Billions' is regarded as the most comprehensive and thorough video game documentary ever created and is essential viewing for anyone interested in video games, either as a player or as a creator.

The Skinny - 8/10 by Darren CarleWhatever the future for the huge list of those involved here, From Bedrooms to Billions is a captivating and definitive account of their pioneering past.
User Review - 10/10 by Russell SThis very well planned and produced documentary on how the British computer games industry took off and eventually faded ticks every box in nostalgic and informative terms and it's parade of interviewees provide endlessly fascinating insight and stories throughout. Just great.
User Review - 10/10 by kevin pIf you're fascinated about the history of computer gaming, then this is the documentary you should watch. This is more then a historical review of the creation and growth of the computer gaming industry, its a story about *people* - people who were there, their recollections of the time, and the story behind what happened and why. Nicely shot interviews form the basis of the film content, but its well balanced with plenty of historical 80's TV footage showing kids in stores playing games, writing games at home, pages from Magazines and of course plenty of game play. When you ask yourself where did a lot of the computer gaming industry begin, the last thing you've probably thought of are kids in bedrooms, inventing code that had no guidelines to how it should be done. I lived this era, albeit in a different country, but I can relate to everything - from the games, magazines (since all of our magazines and software came mostly from the UK) through to the obsession to program my own games. Its fulfilled my midlife crisis hole quite nicely, and has provided a film I can easily watch again and again (and to be honest, I already have watched it several times).
User Review - 10/10 by Ian WAn absolutely superb documanetry on the rise and fall of the British games industry. Covering all bases and interviewing some of the biggest names in the business this is essential viewing for all gamers.
