(2019)The multi-billion-dollar video game industry has reached a crossroads as physical game sales are being overtaken by digital distribution. The effect on game creators, consumers, and game stores may be radically different. Featuring interviews with video game developers, the Library of Congress, historians, and mom-and-pop game shop owners all across the United States, Not for Resale is a feature-length documentary that examines the influence physicality has on ownership, preservation, and the relationship we all have with video games. What is gained from a digital marketplace? What does the future hold for video game shops and their passionate owners? As the way we purchase media changes, new opportunities arise. But what gets left behind?Director: Kevin J. James Starring: Frank Cifaldi Producers: Kevin J. James
