"When gaming went mainstream" is how a pair of documentary filmmakers have described the subject of their latest project: the PlayStation.

From Bedrooms to Billions: The PlayStation Revolution will tell the story of Sony's gaming platform and how it changed the industry landscape. The pair behind the documentary, Anthony and Nicola Caulfield, have already produced two other films using the Bedrooms to Billions name, which focus on eariler periods in the genesis of electronic entertainment.

The pair are currently seeking funds through a Kickstarter campaign,which has already raised £32,000 of it's £50,000 goal with 17 days left to go on the clock. Apparently Shuhei Yoshida, President of Sony's worldwide studios for SCEI, was one of the first donors, having given his blessing to the project.

"During the production of our two previous films so many developers, publishers, musicians and journalists we interviewed said that the release of the PlayStation was a game changer for the games industry on many different levels. Therefore it is our intention to film a whole new set of interviews to add to our already extensive list and create a standalone, immersive and exhaustive film that really explores why the release of the PlayStation and the era that soon followed was a key period in the evolution of video games."

The Caulfields have created documentaries on a variety of topics including The Young Ones and Britain's comedy scene.

The PlayStation 2 currently holds the world record as the best-selling console with over 155 million units shipped. If discounting handheld devices, 2nd place goes to the original PlayStation, which released in 1994 and sold 104 million units.

If the Kickstarter campaign is a success, From Bedrooms to Billions: The PlayStation Revolution is scheduled for a May 2017 release.
