              PRESS & INDUSTRY SCREENING - The Hobby: Tales from the Tabletop

              Are games the meaning of life? The Hobby is a funny, affectionate, character-driven portrait of the surprisingly massive subculture of modern board games, featuring a fascinating and diverse group of subjects who find deep meaning in “meaningless” pursuits.

              From the World Series of Board Games on the Vegas strip and dating back to ancient Mesopotamia, The Hobby is an affectionate, character-driven portrait of the massive and diverse subculture of modern board games.

              With a fascinating cast of charming subjects – including the “Roger Ebert of board games”, a rock-climbing board game philosopher, and a birdwatcher who created an unlikely smash hit – players share personal stories of competition, compulsion, creativity, and connection. The Hobby explores the value of leisure time and uncovers the deep meaning found in “meaningless” pursuits.

              Producer: Justin Rebelo
              Production Company: Vortex Media
