Quarantine Watch #208: Gamemaster (2020)

I am a bit biased here since I’m good friends with most of the filmmakers involved here. I’m not super crazy about boardgames, but that mainly comes from not having people to play with. Still it’s not something you typically think about — the artists involved with making board games AKA tabletop games. The most compelling of the 4 creators profiled is Nashra Balagamwala. I’m excited to see where she goes in her career. Aside from her, it’s still interesting to see what it takes to make a board game. You can also really feel the influence that producer Jimmy Nguyen has here — there is so much consistency here with both of the docs he previously produced; BARISTA and SHOWRUNNERS (most specifically BARISTA).
