2 years ago we dropped a teaser for the project, offering the wider world their first glimpse of what we'd been up to for already nearly 2 years at that point.

Damn, that song is a banger Chris Danger Bongat!

Hey all of you Godzilla fans! Galloping Ghost Arcade is going to be at G-FEST this weekend with a slew of games, Godzilla rarities, and their very own line of specialty Godzilla models, Galloping Ghost Kaiju Kobo.

Fun fact: Doc Mack may be the world's largest collector of Godzilla models, with around 550 in his possession. Though, by the time this posts, we wouldn't be surprised if he was up to 551🦖.

Pictured above is a throwback to last year's event, where some of the team had the immense pleasure of meeting Rie Ota, the first female suit actor in a Godzilla movie: she played Baragon in the cinematic classic, Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.

4 years ago, this week! That's when we first approached Doc Mack and sat in his office for hours discussing his story. We walked out of there knowing we wanted to do a documentary on it, he agreed to it, and the rest is history!

You've all been a great and patient audience and we can't wait to share what we have - soon!

What do you do when you need a cute apartment set and are short on options that check all the boxes you have? Well, you take everything out of your own studio lounge and build a set right there!

Had a fun time shooting a short film a few weeks ago and can't wait to share it with everyone!

Let's make sure that the world knows who the best arcade is (or at least readers of Newsweek.com)💪

Vote Galloping Ghost Arcade!

Power up the fun for the whole family and let the kids dive into a world of interactive excitement at one of these awesome arcades.

Endless birthday wishes for our producer extraordinaire, Michelle Maslanka ✨

That's not quite fair. "Producer" is a bit limited for someone who is also a tenacious AD, and a talented director in her own right.

So... endless birthday wishes for our multi-hyphenate extraordinaire, Michelle Maslanka⭐️⭐️⭐️

There. Now that's better!

We're happy to see Galloping Ghost Arcade getting the attention that it deserves!

As progress on the documentary moves along, we cannot wait to share how this wonderful vintage video game utopia came to be👍🕹

Head to Brookfield to go inside America’s largest video arcade.

We made this short film back in 2023 for the 48 Hour Film Project - Chicago. Since then, it's been in consideration for a number of festivals, so we were unable to release it online. Well the time is almost upon us, so keep an eye out for some behind the scenes photos next week, as well as the actual release of the film shortly after that!

It's crazy to think this film was when we first met and worked with Phil Aman. We've collaborated with him on so much since then and he's been such a vital part of the team! We're excited to show you what we did together!
