A short documentary about gamers at Houghton College: Why do they play video games? How do they feel about the common conception that video games lead to violence?

I had a few main goals with this piece: gather as wide a variety of gamers as possible (which I think I did a pretty good job on) and try to influence their answers as little as possible. I basically only asked the two questions featured and answered pretty much every clarifying response with "Whatever you think" just to get as raw a response as possible. I don't agree with quite everything said in here, but that's kind of the point: there's all types of responses. I wanted to make them feel like a flowing train of thought all the same, though. The grainy filter was added later because the lightning and quality turned out not as I wanted, so I decided to go with a filter to embrace the graininess of the movie.
