The New 8-bit Heroes(2016)
The New 8-bit Heroes Synopsis
The New 8-Bit Heroes began after discovering childhood illustrations of a proposed game for the original Nintendo Entertainment System. Embarking on a quest with fellow creatives, Granato and his team set out to retrofit their skills to realize the abandoned ambition of developing a brand new, cartridge based game for the 30 year old console. What began as a novelty project about making a video game quickly shifts into an analysis of the relevance of the ambitions shed in our youth and an examination of what happens when we inject them into our adult lives.
The New 8-bit Heroes (2016) is a documentary film directed by Joseph Granato IV, released on September 1, 2016 with a runtime of 1h 50m. It stars Dain Anderson, Derek Andrews, Piers Anthony and Brendan Becker. Viewers rate it 6.8 out of 10 across 5 ratings.
