This (northern) spring, the story of pro gamer Mike Ross is getting the feature-length documentary treatment. The film is a portrait of how Ross spent 2010, travelling around the country and competing in Street Fighter.
Focus is the documentary debut of filmmaker Steve Hwang and gets its premiere screen this Saturday at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Admission is free, and RSVP here.
While Ross isn’t the most famous pro Street Fighter player (though he is famous!), he certainly seems like he is a compelling subject for a documentary. Look out for cameos by Daigo Umehara, Justin Wong and Alex Valle.
Another interesting doc about fighting game players is Bang The Machine – also worth checking out!
