Also in it: the human avatar of This Spartan Life host Damian Lacedamion. I believe his name is Chris Burke.

This looks great! I saw Nullsleep and Bit Shifter on tour and was blown away. I wrote a brief interview with Bit Shifter a few months ago, great guy. You can listen to it here: http://marioa.squarespace.com/marios-digital-cafe-blog/2007/10/23/interview-with-chiptune-musician-bit-shifter.html

Saw this film last summer at The Tank and was thoroughly impressed. It's a rich look into the history and culture that informs the chiptunes scene. These folks are true artists, and they're even better when you see them live!
