Description
INSERT COIN is the amazing behind-the-scenes story of one of the greatest video game studios of all time – Midway Games. Led by the “godfather of video games” Eugene Jarvis, the company pioneered the concept of live-action gaming, kickstarting a new arcade boom and grossing billions of dollars in the process with massive hits like Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam – franchises still popular today.
Through intimate and often hilarious interviews with the people who were there, we witness how a small, unsuspecting tight-knit group of friends deals with success and the roller coaster ride that comes with it.
Screening with Short Film:
TODDY (4.5 Minutes)
Toddy lives in his warehouse surrounded by 40+ pinball machines: some are completely restored and functional, others are work in progress. Among dot-matrix displays, slingshots and bumpers Toddy has found his mission in life.
