Brainstorm Media has released the trailer for an upcomning board game documentary film titled The Hobby: Tales From The Tabletop, a “film for the trained, the casual gamer and beginners alike.”
The film explores the passionate world of modern board gaming, following enthusiasts who find community and meaning through games.
The description for the doc reads: “What can happen when you roll two dice? Everything, apparently. Because dice, checkers and board can be portals to something much bigger than just a game. It’s about community, emotion and participation – but it’s also about winning!
“This doc takes us from the World Board Game Championships in Las Vegas to dating and all the way back to ancient Mesopotamia, because board games and the desire to play have deep roots. Through personal narratives, players around the world share fascinating stories of competition, passion, creativity and imagination, and about how a single game can bridge people and cultures.
“A character-driven, affectionate portrait of board game culture, this is a documentary film that inventively and charmingly ponders the importance of ‘meaningless’ activities in life.”
This looks like a fun and delightful doc that offers a fascinating look into the world of tabletop games.
The movie is directed by Simon Ennis, and it will be coming soon to VOD later this summer.
