I imagine this is going to be similar to National Geographic's program that followed Seo Jihoon on his WCG trip, but more expansive. As apposed to talking to Starcraft players, family members and coaches you've got out of work Quake players and event organisers with questionable business practices.
Some information about a release date would be nice.
I really don't fancy having to import this just to find out whether or not it's any good.
Great interview, as always btw!
How/When can we the general public watch it?
does anyone know where and how i could get and watch this movie?
hope you will tell us as soon as it would be avaliable to watch
