Gaming in Color (2014)

Gaming in Color: Directed by Philip Jones. With Colleen Macklin, George Skleres, Naomi Clark, Matt Conn. Diversity in video games is extraordinarily important – especially to the people who play them. Explore the story of the queer gaming community, ‘gaymer’ culture and events, and the rise of LGBTQ themes in video games.

“The gaming community is diverse as it is vast…from the casual gamer, to the hardcore, rocking the headset until the wee hours, there are gamers from all walks of life. Gaming in Color is one of those films that not only demonstrates just how diverse the community is, but also how the gaming industry is beginning to understand that as well. Gone are the days where gaming was a u0026quot;nicheu0026quot; and sometimes frowned upon subculture. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is just the beginning…and if you enjoy a documentary that tells it like it is, like video games and want to get a good idea of just how diverse the gaming world is…then this is worth watching. From clips of well-known video games, to candid interviews with industry and gamers, Gaming in Color takes the controller out of the hands of the basement brat, and puts it into everyone elseu0026#39;s.”
