CTFF Interactive Featured on Fox 61 TV

CTFF Interactive was featured in prime time on Friday, May 29 at 10:55pm on CT's Fox 61.

Skip the lead-in of 90 seconds, it's a waste. http://tinyurl.com/kosy74

The tech reporter, Rick Hancock reported on the story and has been a geek since the early 80s. He was enjoyable to talk to because he knew all the events we were doing and spoke our language, which is rare (I'm a journalist). Turns out, two of our panel moderators; Profs Hanley and Gillespie of Quinnipiac University were his teachers and mentors.

Rick and his cameraman hung out for 45 minutes at Torrington-based, Left Brain Games' office and chatted with President Andrew Keplinger, one of our panelists. Then they came to interview me at the Danbury Arena in the post-industrialist raw space of what was to become this week.

The story started out with a preview before going to Left Brain and they focused on various aspects and angles of our webpage, zooming in and out and showcasing Eric Zimmerman and Burnkit 2600. They also focused on the other 2 CT video game companies, so while having Venan's webpage onscreen, they had in white block letters at the bottom, "Stamford-based Softasoft and Torrington's Left Brain Games." All in one. Then they zoomed into the latter two's webpages and looked at their games.

Unfortunately, there is no link on their webpage, which has too much on the site and takes forever to download the main page, no matter what type of computer you use.

We were also mentioned in the NY Times CT Section last week and the Fairfield County Weekly.
