The Rubber-Keyed Wonder: 40 Years of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum

Post by PeterJ »

I've been contacted by Anthony Caulfield who along with his wife Nicola made the From Bedrooms to Billions documentary film trilogy.

They are currently running a Kickstarter campaign to fund the production of their new film called 'The Rubber-Keyed Wonder: 40 Years of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

They will be interviewing many legendary Spectrum games developers, musicians, original hardware engineers but also they want to feature fans and places where the Spectrum was also popular outside of the UK.

The Kickstarter link is here:

Just to note that the email I received mentioned a complimentary copy of the Blu-ray. If I do receive anything I will arrange a raffle or similar to give it away to one of our members here.

How will non-UK Spectrum aficionados be chosen for the interviews?

Among the project backers, maybe?

Cool. Hope they manage to feature David Whittaker. For me, he's the biggest legend of them all :-)

Nice! I just backed the project. They are into their stretch goals now and have two more weeks to go... so why not treat yourself to a nice Christmas present (for 2022, of course)? :) They added a convenient short link: http://bit.ly/ZXSpectrumMovie
