GameLoading – Rise of the Indies explores the new global subculture of independent game development. In the spirit of movements such as the French New Wave and the Punk and Grunge scenes, hundreds of indie auteurs are emerging and finding success with their own unique voices and artistic goals.

Much like the music and film industries before it, the medium of video games is currently undergoing a monumental shift. The traditional model of large, faceless corporations developing generic, blockbuster action games is being disrupted by independent game makers creating innovative, personal experiences.

GameLoading aims to capture this exciting moment in time, taking a personal and holistic look at the passionate people expressing themselves through video games and, in the process, creating an international community dedicated to developing the culture of the medium.

The team secured funding for the primary film shoot through a successful Kickstarter campaign in mid-2013, after which they spent three months visiting eleven cities in five countries and shot dozens of interviews.

The project is currently in post-production and this second campaign, which ends October 22nd, will fund the final push. Your support would be appreciated.
