Gaming in Color

Gaming in Color is a documentary film by MidBoss about queers in gaming. Directed by Philip Jones, Gaming in Color focuses on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer LGBTQ issues in video games, gaymer culture and events, and the rise of queer themes in gaming. The film is largely interview based, and features notable gay gaming personalities in the industry and communities.

In January 2015, MidBoss announced that Gaming in Color would be partnering with Devolver Digital and their film branch for the films major digital distribution, and released the news that Gaming in Color will launch on iTunes, Amazon, PlayStation, Xbox, and Vudu on May 19.Common topics in the film include why games matter, what a game is, what they do for individuals, and how they affect culture are explored. Sexuality in culture bridges the gap to sexuality in games, to make room for the topic of non traditional sexualities and expressions being a part of culture, and thus video games. Hate speech and bigotry are common in online spaces, and how that affects people personally when they play games is commented on. Solutions to harmful activity is postulated, and many point to the GaymerX convention for doing good work in creating a safe space in adding visibility, to influence a more openminded gaming community, as well as more LGBTQ characters in mainstream games. ........
