After a successful Kickstarter campaign, documentary company CREATORVC are giving gamers another shot at supporting their forthcoming video game documentary FPS: First Person Shooter.

Launched today, an Indiegogo for the documentary is live right now, and it’ll close on May 23. Some perks offered in select tiers include the backer’s gameplay footage in the documentary, tickets to the film’s premiere, and a producer’s credit. The Indiegogo campaign can be found here.

The documentary follows the growing FPS scene from its small beginnings to its massive following on platforms such as Twitch. Folks slated to appear in the film include id Software alumni (John Carmack, John Romero, Tom Hall, Adrian Carmack, Sandy Petersen, Jennell Jaquays, and more), Cliff Bleszinski (Unreal/Unreal Tournament), Warren Spector (System Shock, Deus Ex), Karl Hilton (GoldenEye, TimeSplitters), and Joe Staten (Halo series).

FPS co-director David L. Craddock said this about the project:

“First-person shooters are enjoyed by millions of players around the world. Given the enduring popularity of classics from the ‘90s and 2000s, our film promises to be a fun trip through some of the greatest games and moments in this beloved genre.”

FPS co-director Chris Straton also said:

“I want to make this film an entertaining ride that recaptures the feelings of joy created by some of the most incredible virtual experiences of our youth, and I'm excited to tell the stories of the pioneers who created them.”

FPS producer/co-writer Richard Moss also chimed in:

“With 100+ hours of interview footage to sift through from a stellar lineup of contributors across some of the coolest games ever, I can't wait to dig into the script and to share these fantastic stories with our backers.”
