Overview
- The documentary was publicly announced Thursday by Super Channel and producers Shane Fennessey and Adam Scorgie with Akash Sherman as writer‑director.
- Filming began about two years ago and continued through Electronic Arts’ decision to close BioWare on October 21, giving the crew footage of the studio’s final days.
- The film features interviews with BioWare co‑founders Ray Muzyka, Greg Zeschuk and Augustine Yip plus longtime developers and industry figures such as Casey Hudson and Jennifer Hale.
- Producers say Massive Effect will seek a 2027 world premiere on the festival circuit, will be sold worldwide by Upstream Flix, and has opened a website for fans to submit photos and memories.
- BioWare’s shutdown followed a corporate reprioritization after EA’s leveraged buyout and cut roughly 400 jobs, and the documentary could be one of the first comprehensive records of cancelled projects and the human impact in Edmonton.
