Much has been said about the history of game development in North America and Japan, but British developers were just as busy as their international counterparts back in the day; we just rarely get the chance to hear about it. , a film about the pioneer days of game development in the UK from Nicola Caulfield and Anthony Caulfield, aims to set the record straight. The enthusiast developers who forged ahead and paved the road for future generations have shared their stories, and though some of the interviewees developed successful careers in gaming, many of them failed to turn their passion projects into commercially viable products under the pressure of financially driven publishers. Regardless of the individuals' outcomes, at the start, Anthony says they all had one thing in common: "it was never for the money, only for the love." This is the story that From Bedrooms to Billions aims to tell.

The creative passions of the film's subjects inspired the Caulfields, who want to bestow these tales of love and loss to a wider audience, to preserve the early history of their corner of the industry. "We both feel this is a long overdue story," Nicola said, "and while most of the main protagonists are still around to tell the story in their own words, the time had to be now. We want a permanent record of a remarkable and creative time in UK history."

As common as the stories within From Bedrooms to Billions may be among the interviewees, the film itself is an uncommon retrospective that focuses on an oft-neglected part of the industry's past. Gaming is an international business that began in disparate, and very different, corners of the world. In order to understand how we got to this point, we have to look back, and considering how little has been said about the origins of the industry in the UK, From Bedrooms to Billions offers a glimpse into the past that would otherwise have been ignored, and at worst, forgotten.
