Special When Lit

Special When Lit is a documentary that delves into the rich history of pinball, a game that once rivaled the movie industry in popularity and profit. Through interviews with enthusiasts, collectors, designers, and champion players, the film tells the story of pinball's rise to fame, its eventual decline, and the dedicated subculture that keeps it alive. From the early days of pinball's Depression-era origins to its 1970s heyday and subsequent fall from grace, the documentary explores the game's unique appeal and the impact it has had on those who love it. Along the way, viewers are treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the design process, the high-stakes world of competitive pinball, and the nostalgic experience of playing a game that's both easy to play and hard to master. Will pinball continue to be a cherished memory of a bygone era, or can it reclaim its former glory in the digital age?
