The Rubber Keyed Wonder: 40 Years of the ZX Spectrum Film

The Rubber Keyed Wonder: 40 Years of the ZX Spectrum Film

Now we have completed the From Bedrooms to Billions film Trilogy we want to focus on specific systems and we are starting with a documentary film celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

2022 will mark 40 years since the Sinclair ZX Spectrum was released in April 1982! The ZX Spectrum computer went onto sell over 5 million units and was one of the most important contributions in 50 years of video game history, and for many was the most important and perhaps most loved! It wasn't just the wonderful library of computer games that sprung up because of the ZX Spectrum, but it was the chief component that kick-started the British Video Games Industry in the 1980s! With this project, we aim to make a standalone 80min feature film documentary plus loads of additional featurettes and game design stories that cover a huge array of subjects all to do with our mutual love for the ZX Spectrum and put it all into one celebratory, 40th anniversary package!

So please support our film by becoming a Kickstarter backer and pre-ordering a copy of the film. Also as a backer you'll get to follow the production as it progresses so please visit our campaign here for more information and to back us https://t.co/NyFA0paAp9
