That’s a wrap!
Producer Mark Capapas and Director Justin Tolliver reflect—literally—before a giant pinball outside the Stern factory, the very place where For Your Amusement first began.
After more than three years, over 50 interviews, and countless miles traveled coast to coast, production has officially wrapped on For Your Amusement! What began in May 2022 as a small passion project turned into a nationwide journey to capture the heart of the American amusement industry—from vintage arcades and pinball factories to modern-day innovators keeping the spirit of play alive.
It feels fitting that we ended our final shoot at the Stern Pinball factory, the very first stop on our journey back in 2022. In that time, Stern itself has grown and moved into a new 130,000-square-foot facility—an evolution that mirrors the resilience and reinvention at the core of this film’s story.
Below is a behind-the-scenes photo gallery featuring some candid moments from our travels and interviews—a small glimpse into the incredible people and places that made this project possible.
