LogInThe film promises a glimpse into the designer's creative process, while also shedding light on the challenges faced when establishing an independent game studio.
About a month ago, the Tribeca Festival organizers revealed the upcoming documentary titled "Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds," dedicated to the legendary game designer. The documentary is set to debut on June 17, and in anticipation of its premiere, Kojima Productions unveiled the first trailer for the film.
According to the trailer's description, Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds will take you "on a journey into the creative mind of the most iconic video game creator in the world." From the initial glimpse, it seems that the documentary will focus on the artistic aspects of Kojima's work, delving into his influence on the gaming industry and the challenges associated with establishing an independent game studio.
The documentary aims to explore the reasons behind Kojima's reputation as the "first auteur" of video games and promises a unique glimpse into the designer's creative process as he ventures into the world of independent game development.
Apparently, Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds will center around the period after the establishment of Kojima Productions as there is no mention of Konami, suggesting that the company's involvement in this documentary is likely minimal.
The film is produced by Kojima Productions, PlayStation Studios, and Filmworks and will feature appearances from visionary artists such as Guillermo del Toro, Nicholas Winding Refn, Grimes, George Miller, Norman Reedus, Woodkid, and Chvrches.
