Thank You for Playing

Directed by David Osit and Malika Zouhali-Worrall. “The past decade has seen a rise of ‘serious’ video games, but none quite like That Dragon, Cancer,” said Ars Technica. That Dragon, Cancer forms the heart of a documentary The New Yorker called “unimaginably intimate.” THANK YOU FOR PLAYING follows Ryan Green and his family over two years through the creation of a game meant to honor the life of his terminally ill son. Beginning as a cathartic exercise, it soon evolves into a critically acclaimed fusion of art and technology that sets the gaming industry abuzz – a testament to the human spirit, reaching into the depths of despair and extracting something truly beautiful.
