I've been helping Danny edit the film down, and its starting to get pretty lean. This cut could still shed another 15 to 20 minutes, but its like whittling, its gets harder and harder to take away stuff without maligning the design. Its a pretty good movie though, and I really want to emphasize that it goes into the future of games, other important games, and what we can do as players and designers to better explore and represent the medium - Ledonne and SCMRPG are really beginning and end points for this discussion.

ps: GL is for the show, not the game which i know is already out. Just to clarify.

actully, the game was quit fine.
i did not finsh it yet, but i have to say it casn tastless for some.
but in the end its only a game.
the tragdy was hard, but dont forget whos resposable.
it was the parent, the pathatic gun laws, and the tv whos looking for scapegout( poor manson, and vg)

The common perception people have of this film, as the GP article alludes to, is that it is solely about SCMRPG and its controversy. In truth, that is a starting point for looking at a swath of games that tackle serious issues. Much of the film looks at how controversy is covered in the press, the school shooting phenomenon, and the future of games as an expressive medium. But SCMRPG is the main character, in essence, because it touches on all these issues.

I am doing select screenings now as the film is being trimmed, mixed, and scored to get the best possible documentary for people (gamers and otherwise) to begin engaging these subjects. It is my hope that the film encourages debate long after I have left it in pursuit of other (non-videogame, non-Columbine) film productions...

I find it funny that people are aguring over the fact on why Danny did this...For fame and controversy or to make a point.

People fight over anything these days...yeap anything...

Danny is making a whole freaking documentary over all this hype....what about that one kid who made the game with Cho who was very immature and satire and basically addmited that he did it for the lulz.

I don't understand how people can sit there and say Danny did it for the lulz as well when he is dead serious about all these.

Each to there own...

I went to see it. It was brilliant. Unfortunately this cut didn't include anything from the Philadelphia debate, or else I missed it. Still, lots of material get covered, many events/games, many points of view. Definitively worth checking out.

There is a part in the movie mentioning how the game was originally released anonymously, and some guy exposed Danny in order to force him to "own up" to it. And then he proceeded to do so in such an eloquent and spectacular way. It really makes you appreciate all he's done and what he's had to put up with. Thanks for everything, Danny.

I've seen... a few clips... from the the third cut of the documentary and it kicked ass as far as documentaries go. Before anyone asks: Verbal NDA.
