James Rolfe
James Rolfe is an independent filmmaker and creator of the Angry Video Game Nerd web series and feature film. A Movie Making Nerd is a personal account of his origins, starting with an early love of making home movies before the rise of the internet and digital video. Rolfe candidly details moments of triumph and failure in both life and filmmaking—from his time in special education school and struggles during adolescence and college, to personal relationships, finding employment, and raising children. Every recollection in A Movie Making Nerd, whether happy, funny, or painful, shows how one might turn a childhood hobby into a life-long calling.

That aside, I found this a great work. It’s written in a very humble tone where James is proud of his accomplishments, but openly acknowledges life’s struggles. The stories of college life and the hardships of finding your own creative identity all ring very truthful, and I found it very relatable and down to earth. I have always loved his voice in being honest about creative struggles and what you need to do to find your voice as a creative individual. This is a great read for those interested in Cinemassacre as well as those who know how difficult it is to find your flow as a creative. Definitely inspiring and ultimately through everything uplifting.
Great behind the scenes for an incredible creator

For those that love AVGN, it's great to listen to all the stories and history of the original angry retro gamer. He took us back to the past ...let's hope it continues to last.
Great job James.

Overall, a great listen if you want to know a bit more about James' story and how he got into filmmaking. I think this was narrated well. I always enjoy his commentary on a variety of topics and just hearing his ups and downs was both captivating and hilarious at times! Thanks James.

Even more interesting than I expected

I was unaware that he and I had similar difficulties as young people but I'm glad James seems to have had a couple of amazing parents to help him along the way in addition to dozens of people who see. to have been drawn in by his natural charisma.
It's no wonder James takes so much time to mention and thank so many people as I'm sure that having such a wonderful support network is the reason he's the man he is today and I think it implies a good lession about how no matter how bad things are, if we have good people around us we can still excel and prosper.
I'm glad the author decided to share so much of himself with us as it's not often we get to know people who make our entertainment so intimately. I feel like I appreciate his works even more now and I am excited to see what he produces next.
I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about the creative process, what it's like to grow up not quite fitting in or if you like enjoy watching "the fucken nerd".
A great insight into the man behind the Nerd
