GAME ON is a feature documentary film centering Brenda Romero, a charismatic, radically pioneering, veteran game creator, as she challenges who video and board games are for and what they can do.
GAME ON focuses on pioneering game designer Brenda Romero (Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes, Wizardry 8, and 45+ more) and how she navigates the male dominated game design industry.
Brenda treats board and video games as art, incorporating game play into every aspect of her life. She creates contemporary and historical games to amplify social issues. Her games explore Black, Indigenous, Irish, Mexican and Jewish history in ways that challenge players.
GAME ON follows Brenda’s life as the CEO of her video game company and a mom. She and her husband, legendary game developer John Romero, are on a mission to do what they love while raising four kids in an ethnically blended family. Brenda helms the production of a new game, and opens up a timely discussion about sexism in the tech industry as well as the gaming world.
