Welcome!

Welcome to the official weblog for “Press Start,” the world's first videogame adventure comedy movie! Over the course of production, we’ll be posting news, thoughts, and funny stories – all for your amusement.

Last night was the first table reading of the screenplay! We gathered ‘round, read the script aloud, and got our first inkling of what this movie is going to be like. And it is going to be hysterical. Below is a picture of a number of us cast and crewfolk at the read-through, minus the mysterious and elusive Peter Davis, who plays the film’s villain. Top row: Al Morrison, Josh Stafford, and Lauren Chambers. Bottom row: Kevin Folliard, Ben McDuffee, Ed Glaser (the director and yours truly), and Meagan Benz.



Meanwhile, the rest of pre-production is in full swing, and we’re already gathering costumes, props, and securing our locations. Filming will begin in late November, if all goes according to plan.

You’ve never seen anything like this. Get your tokens ready, folks – we’ll keep you posted!
