“Moral Kombat”: Documenting the Game
Industry |
Filmmaker Spencer Halpin and Ramy Katrib are producing a
film on the gaming industry. The film is called “Moral
Kombat”: Documenting the Game Industry and is set to be
released in the summer of 2005. They are calling this
film "the first definitive documentary on the
interactive entertainment business".
::From the Apple Website::
Video games are very big business. Now raking in more
than $10 billion a year in North America alone, games
have surpassed the behemoth motion picture industry to
dominate the entertainment scene. Their profound
economic and social effects so roused filmmaker Spencer
Halpin that he plunked down more than $650,000 to make
“Moral Kombat,” which co-producer Ramy Katrib calls “the
first definitive documentary on the interactive
entertainment business.” It’s also among the few
documentaries to be entirely shot, edited and finished
in HD.
To demonstrate the far-reaching consequences of
gameplay, the film, which is expected to be released in
the summer of 2005, travels from boardrooms to living
rooms. But for Halpin, the most important interview in
the film is the one with the San Jose Mercury News
journalist and industry observer Dean Takahashi, who
shared his feelings about violence in video games.
Takahashi’s brother was assassinated in 1993 — the same
year the hit game “Mortal Kombat” came out — in a case
of gang warfare and mistaken identity. “Everyone on the
set that day had puffy eyes,” says Halpin. “That was
when we chose the title ‘Moral Kombat.’”
