From Bedrooms to Billions: The PlayStation Revolution
The PlayStation Revolution is an independent documentary feature film that uncovers the incredible story behind the creation of the Sony PlayStation. It is an essential watch for anyone interested in video games and the history of the biggest entertainment industry on earth. The film investigates why Sony decided to enter the video games business, when it was already dominated by both Nintendo and Sega, who not only produced their own hardware but made and published fantastic games. To compete, Sony would not only have to design and build a new piece of hardware, but they would have to find a way to persuade the game development industry to take a chance and develop games for it long before it even came out!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This 35-minute movie is the first effort by Daniel P. Schenk as a writer and director (and supporting actor). And when you watch this, you get exactly what the title suggests: "A Gamer's Day" He steps out of bed, gets his room dark and starts chatting and playing all kinds of games. Gamer references are funny and will maybe never get old. This film has them all, but it's just too much and at some point gets repetitive, where I lost my interest mostly. I could have done with almost all the sequences of recordings from video games. I think this could have been kept down to 10-15 minutes, made more essential and it would have been truly hilarious. The references about the gamer's family and girlfriend and chat behavior were far more interesting than all the gaming sequences anyway.After a break of 9 years, Schenk has 2 movies coming up for 2015, also starring some family members of him just like this short movie. It will be interesting to see how his style has changed in the last almost 10 years at all. Best thing about this short film is maybe the music. Memorable songs from all kinds of genres included. It makes it at least easier to sit through. Oh and you don't need to be able to speak German to understand this short. There is no dialog in here, only problem is you won't understand the German text on the gamer's computer screen. Anyway, the runtime didn't destroy this film, but it hurt it a lot. Not recommended.
