The Story of the UK Video Games Industry 1979 to Present.
From Bedrooms to Billions is a 150 minute feature length documentary movie telling the remarkable, true story of the British Video Games Industry from 1979 to the present.
The film tells how the creativity and vision of a relatively small number of individuals allowed the UK to play a key, pioneering role in the shaping of the billion dollar video games industry, which today dominates the modern world’s entertainment landscape.
Featuring interviews with key contributors to the UK story from across video game development, publishing and journalism from over the last 40 years, combined with compelling archive, ‘From Bedrooms to Billions’ is the first to attempt to bring this amazing story together. Starting in the late 70's, spanning 'Thatcher's Britain' of the 80's and culminating in the dramatic shift of fortunes for the UK Video Games Industry by the late 90's, the film celebrates the importance of this era and why it has become such a landmark period in the history of British invention, creativity and industry.
