Still Standing is an Aussie made doco about the golden era of arcade and pinball machines. It’s a nostalgic trip down memory lane, where director Brad Gilbertson heads into the legendary arcades around the nation and chats with the people who helped form many childhood memories. Brad is based in Adelaide, and as such frequented local arcades like Downtown and Magic Mountain, and chatted with the godfather of amusement venues, Frank Sebastyan, for the documentary, alongside many other folks.

Independently produced and made by BGVC Films, Still Standing is releasing around the globe on February 22 on DocPlay, Amazon Prime and other services. In this interview, Andrew chats with Brad about how he made the film, what his favourite arcade game was, and some of the uniquely Australian stories about Australian arcades that he discovered during filming.
