Circuit Bending: A Toy Story highlights three unique artists who are
participating in an underground musical movement where old toys are
rebuilt and re-imagined, turning them into musical instruments. As the video
will show, sometimes these artists are just as interesting as the
instruments they've created.

"Although technology continues to evolve, a group of die-hard gamers
refuses to abandon the classic arcade games of yesteryear. Loosely united by
the high score database website TwinGalaxies.com, the 80's live on for
these enthusiasts as they compete against each other and history to record
the world's highest scores. Portland gamer Bill Carlton is one of the most
brazen, fearlessly taking on some of the toughest records on the books,
and isn't afraid to lose a little sleep in the process. Bill specializes in
marathon attempts - tests of endurance in which one game is played
nonstop for as long as possible. HIGH SCORE follows Bill as he aims to take
down the Atari classic Missile Command and its record that has stood unbroken
for over twenty years. To get the eighty million points, he'll have to play
the game on one quarter for over two days straight. There is no pause
button. There will be no sleep. There can only be one victor in this classic
story of Man versus Missile Command." Jeremy Mack
