Gamers is a comedy about the lives of four hapless friends (and one obsessive interloper) and how they evolve over a 23-year span. It centers on a single day when they are about to break a world record for hours spent role-playing a game called DND, or Demons, Nymphs, and Dragons. The sacrifice, the obsession, the blind dedication... This is their true story. The first Hollywood movie about the world of gaming, it features Beverly D'Angelo, Kelly LeBrock, John Heard, William Katt and the voices of Michael Bell and Richard Blade. It was shot on 35MM and has a true eighties sound track with music by Loverboy, The Cure, Night Ranger, and INXS.The film was self-financed with bank loans and maxed out credit cards by a gamer who is bringing his loosely based semi-auto biographical story to the big screen.Summon the laughter at Gen Con!
