Is your Commodore 64 collecting dust somewhere in your parents’ attic? Help fund the nostalgic feature-length documentary From Bedrooms to Billions
From Bedrooms to Billions is a feature length documentary telling the story of the UK video games industry from 1979 to the present day currently funding on Kickstarter.
This is the second round of crowd-sourced funding for the project, which successfully raised $35,000 in 2012 on Indiegogo to fund the production costs. Nicola and Anthony Caulfield, the creators of From Bedrooms to Billions, are seeking the extra funds to cover post production on the project.

Stretch Goals Announced
Thanks to their loyal following from the first round of funding, Nicola and Anthony Caulfield have already far surpassed their modest initial target of £18,000 and have now passed the £50,000 mark, allowing them to release stretch goals and upgraded rewards for supporters including an extended special edition copy of the movie on DVD.
Upgraded rewards
Film makers Nicola and Anthony Caulfield have lots of experience behind them including working with Pink Floyd producing theatrical and television versions of their film ‘Pulse’ and ‘Dark Side of the Moon’, and the rewards for supporting their project include retro posters of the original artwork from titles including Elite and Sentinel.
