Trivia
The movie budget was achieved via crowd funding at the website Kickstarter. People who donated would get the movie after it was finished. See more »Goofs
In one of the interview segments, Phil Fish states that he got his first Nintendo Entertainment System with a triple game pack (Mario Bros / Tetris / Zelda) when he was 4 years old in "Christmas, 1998". This would mean he began work on Fez at age 15. In the same segment, he displays a game that he made with his father "in 1993". Given the release dates for the NES and the three games mentioned, it's likely that he meant to say that he was 4 years old in 1988, not 1998. See more »Quotes
Edmund McMillen: [in a Skype-call with Tommy before release day] I'll send out the press release, update the website, update my blog, update my Facebook, and call it a night... What are you going to do Tommy?[pause]
Tommy Refenes: Uhh... What happened? I just fell asleep.
Edmund McMillen: Really?
Tommy Refenes: Yeah... uh... uh... What, what did you say?

Lisanne Pajot and James Swirsky knocked this out of the park. It is a film that follows three indie games at different parts of their development that have a story worth telling.
Indie Game: The Movie so well crafted that my wife (non-gamer, non-geek, but appreciates movies) enjoyed and was interested. The pacing and storytelling invokes a wide range of emotions. The artistic choices of cinematic style are spot on and consistent throughout the film.
The fact that it was mainly done by two people... puts me further in awe.
