Why it matters
The film was already rolling before EA shut the studio and canceled the next Mass Effect, so it captures BioWare's last days as they happened rather than as a retrospective assembled after the fact.

Filming began about two years before EA announced BioWare's closure on October 21. Founders Ray Muzyka, Greg Zeschuk and Augustine Yip appear, along with Casey Hudson, Mark Darrah, David Gaider, John Riccitiello, Jennifer Hale and Geoff Keighley.
Filming started roughly two years before the closure announcement, which means the cameras were running when EA ended the studio on October 21 and canceled the next Mass Effect. The documentary covers the arc from BioWare's 1995 founding by three physicians in Edmonton through Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
The production team is also collecting fan photos, videos and stories through the film's official website, and submissions may appear in the finished cut. Beyond the 2027 world premiere, screenings at major film festivals are planned.
