"Sometimes selling video games is more fun then playing them."
Personal statement:

How do you make a film with 2500 dollars in nine days? You do it because you don't have a choice. Nine days was all the time I could take off from work. $2500 was all the money we could raise at the time. But, it was now or never and we went for it. Thanks to 20 years of experience in running live shows, learning to make due with what you have and thanks to a lot of good people donating their time and talents while believing in the pursuit of a dream. This dream became reality.
 Game Over as it is today is not exactly what the original vision was, I planned on having a budget of $20,000 and at least one name for the film. Despite this, I am quite proud of what we have done.
our film stands defiantly.  So many people laughed in our faces or told us it could never be done, but ultimately what they tell us when we are children is true . You can be anything you want to be, has long as you believe in yourself. Yes I am still a clerk in a game store but now I am a also a filmmaker.
  Game Over is not an epic masterpiece in the traditional sense, nor is it for everyone.  It is a humorous, sometimes lowbrow look at the life of a game store clerk and retail in general.  I hope that there is something that the audience can identify with on many different levels. Things that get them to laugh, and perhaps take them away for at least for an hour and 26 minutes. Some may be amused. Some may be disgusted.  At the very least, you will be moved and to me, that is what movies are all about.
 To quote one of my favorite movies: "I have something to say!... It's better to burn out, than to fade away".
