Scrabylon - Documentary Film About Scrabble

Scrabble has always inspired devoted players, a fact well documented in the absolutely wonderful book Word Freak. Now a behind-the-scenes documentary has been produced. Scrabylon is a 50-minute film by Scott Peterson, who also produced and directed the award-winning documentary Out of the Loop, which explored Chicago’s underground music scene.

Read these reviews for some opinions about the documentary film Scrabylon:

Static Zombie, where gamer Peter Sarrett says, "Scrabylon barely scratches the surface of the intense world Fatsis exposed in Word Freak. Read the book."

The Movie Chicks, who say, "These guys make me feel much better about my Boggle obsession."

Film Threat, which says, "The players here have a refreshing sense of humor about themselves and what they do, making their obsessions interesting instead of merely creepy and sad."
