| Summary |
Cel-Shaded Nirvana is a documentary film that shows how gamers perceive their time gaming as much more than just playing a game, at times serving a higher purpose. Through shared stories, the film takes viewers beyond the game play into how the gamers feel when gaming. The stories told by gamers--Justen, Mattie, Jason, Jeremy, and Roger--show the audience that the ordinary activity of gaming means much more than one would expect. In Cel-Shaded Nirvana, the filmmaker highlights the gamer sub-culture, how it is a meaningful part of gamers' lives, fulfills a social need and provides an outlet for gamers to cope with life's ambiguities through gaming |
