For Your Amusement
Director Justin Tolliver
At once nostalgic and forward-looking, For Your Amusement celebrates the tactile, social, and uniquely human side of an industry that continues to coin the business of fun. From arcades to pinball, fortune tellers to claw machines, coin-operated amusements have taken many forms over the years. While often easy to overlook, their lasting appeal across generations is undeniable. This feature-length documentary shines a spotlight on an industry that has spent most of its life in the shadows — and on the men and women whose passion and persistence have driven its continual reinvention. Because in the ever-evolving world of entertainment, dreams take change.
