Grounded: Making The Last of Us (2013)

2013-06-141h 25m

A feature-length exploration of the game's creation, and a love letter to the trials of exploring new territory. There are no road maps or guide books for creating a new world. The only way through is to fail—over and over again. This is the story of how a team of artists, musicians, programmers, writers, actors, filmmakers, playtesters, and a lonely UI designer—came together and pushed each other to build something larger than themselves.

This feature length documentary explores the queer side of gaming culture and the game industry's LGBTQ presence.
