Level Up!

The premiere episode of Press Start: Bonus Levels is now online! But rather than reading me blather about it, why don't you watch it?

The series features the voice talents of the Press Start film's cast, as well as others, with original music by professional videogame composer Jake Kaufman, better known as "virt".

New episodes will be added on the last Friday of every month, so look for the next one on May 26!

Lastly, we're aware of the somewhat-muddy audio quality in this one. It's unfortunate, but rest assured that won't be a problem in future episodes.

Cartoons!

Surprise!! On next Friday, April 28, we’ll be releasing the first in a monthly series of animated shorts produced in conjunction with the film. Called “Press Start: Bonus Levels”, these Flash cartoons will give you a taste of our crazy videogame world well before the movie even finishes production!


Okay, that’s all we’re going to tell you for now. So tune in next Friday.

Something's Coming

Hey, everyone! My apologies for the lack of new content on the site. However, this problem is about to be remedied. Soon. We've got some big things in the works, and we think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Keep checking back, as there will definitely be more to see.

In the meantime, the ever-warming Spring weather has allowed filming to kick into high gear, which is a great relief to all of us.

And tonight we had a rehearsal with Peter Davis and Ben McDuffee. Ben, who plays Vile’s right-hand man, Johnson, also tried out his latest lackey wardrobe, which you can see below. Nothing fancy... But then, it's not supposed to be.
