Wiki.

Beep: A Documentary History of Game Sound is a 2016 Canadian documentary film written and directed by Karen Collins, who, according to Dana Plank on the Journal of the Society for American Music, has published "some of the most influential texts on the history of game audio." The documentary examines the history of game sound design from penny arcades, pinball and video games up to 2015. The documentary was founded through Kickstarter, and features interviews with people involved in game sound design, such as: Marty O'Donnell, Nathan McCree, George Sanger, Nobuo Uematsu, Yoko Shimomura and Winifred Phillips among others.

It was awarded with the Best Editing film in the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival in 2016.
