Thanks very much for your interest in TILT!

TILT represents the flip-side of recent arcade documentaries that focus on the players. Instead, TILT is a film about a remarkably different group of people: the brilliant designers who build the games, people talented enough to have worked at the top of any industry, yet dedicated to this peculiar form of mechanical entertainment. This story, about the last days of Williams pinball, is a particularly special one that I hope you'll enjoy.

—Greg Maletic, Director.

Glenn Turner, The New Gamer: "The way master pinball designers like George Gomez and Larry DeMar detail the games belies such passion that you can't help but get swept up in it." [link]
