SUMMARY:Philip Jones: "Gaming in Color"
DESCRIPTION:Philip Jones\nGaming in Color is a full length documentary of the story of the queer gaming community\, gaymer culture and events\, and the rise of LGBTQ themes in video games. A lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, or otherwise queer gamer has a higher chance of being mistreated in an online social game. Diverse queer themes in storylines and characters are still mostly an anomaly in the mainstream video game industry. Gaming In Color explores how the community culture is shifting and the industry is diversifying\, helping with queer visibility and acceptance of an LGBTQ presence. \nPhilip Jones is a queer youth and activist\, who began in the games industry with journalism and podcasting. He is now best known for his work in directing the video games documentary Gaming in Color which focuses on queer gamers. He also has a hand in other MidBoss projects\, currently head of the expo hall and vendor relations for the second GaymerX convention\, as well as assistant writer for upcoming adventure game Read Only Memories. When not working on these projects\, he studies and wears too much flannel at his home in Texas.
