The Street Fighter sub-culture is an incredible one. The tournaments, the fans, the clubs; it all comes together to create a legitimate legacy for the series that continues to last well beyond the series’ releases.
The latest comes in the form of FOCUS: A Documentary. FOCUS is a film by Director Steve Hwang and 5th Period Productions that follows professional gamer Mike Ross as he travels around the US competing in Street Fighter IV tournaments. Filmed throughout 2010, the film details Ross’s history in gaming, features interviews with several elite professional gamers, and showcases his rise to prominence in the game.
The film is about to have its premiere screening at Art Center in Pasadena, CA on Saturday, February 26th at 8PM. Admission is free, so RSVP via Facebook here: LINK
