G4M3RS, the first documentary to tell the story of competitive computer gaming and the Counter-Strike community, is finally making its Hollywood debut. The film, which had its world premiere at the 2003 CPL Summer Event, has been selected to screen at the 2004 Silver Lake Film Festival. The prestigious festival honoring independent films will show G4M3RS on Sunday, September 26 at the Arclight Theatre in Los Angeles. The thrilling climax of G4M3RS was filmed at the 2002 CPL Summer Championships.

G4M3RS is the definitive story of Counter-Strike, the most popular first-person multiplayer computer game in the world. The film traces Counter-Strike's humble origins from a mod made by high school students in 1999 to the high stakes international competitions of the Cyberathlete Professional League. Along the way, you will meet the people who have made this unique game the phenomenon that it has become...the players, the organizers, the creators and the spectators. The film also features interviews with Counter-Strike co-creator Jess Cliffe, CPL founder Angel Munoz, and Counter-Strike players from all over the world.
