Like the min-maxing of that, for some reason, put me in a headspace that was so primed for the editing process of filmmaking, where you realize that so much of moviemaking, after you've shot it, really is gamified. You're dealing with the footage you've shot, the seconds you have in a shot, how you're cutting from this thing to this other thing. It's not like this is a conscious act that I'm taking, but it feels like a game, and it feels like a game you can win when you're editing your own stuff.
I think just having that approach to it allowed me, especially at a young age, to become totally lost in the process of post-production and editing and re-editing and rewriting things and redoing it, and redoing it, and redoing it in the same way you would a video game and viewing filmmaking like you would view playing a game where it's like, yes - you die. But then you come back, and you get to play the level again, and you can die again, and then get a little bit farther, and a little bit farther. And that iterative process got drilled into me by playing these games where the difficulty was way beyond my ability to play them. That helped me to view filmmaking as that same exact thing, where if you go in and do it and it doesn't work? That doesn't mean you stop and put the controller down, or that you go, "Okay, well, that's as good as I can do. So I'm just going to deliver this." It's like playing Dark Souls. The fun of it is trying to do it again, and again, and again, and again until you really have it right.
Nirvanna The Band The Movie, BlackBerry, and the upcoming Magic: The Gathering movie director, Matt Johnson, explains how growing up with video games prepared him for the iterative process of making and editing movies. gameinformer.com/interview/20...

I remember the day it was announced that they were going to stop the Wii Shopping Channel. It is sad. I have a Steam Deck, so I get to experience that same kind of thrill through that. But there was really nothing like Nintendo all of a sudden selling these Sega games that you could play with an old school controller, like it turned that first Wii into, like, the very first, like romulation system, which I just loved. That was a very special time for me, because it was all these games that I deeply, deeply loved. And you see in the show, we play so much Mario Kart 64. That was all because of the shopping channel.
Yes, Nirvanna The Band's Matt Johnson misses the Wii Shop Channel.

Second, back in December, I was given the opportunity to hang out with key members of Warhorse before and after The Game Awards, to find out what it's like to be a GOTY nominee on the day of the show.
The result was a tale of confidence, nervousness, and heartbreak, and I am super proud of it.
