Going Postal: The Legacy Foretold
Tad Sallee and Jason Sikorsky
United States, 2025, 122 min.
Includes violence.
Uncensored and unapologetic, this Tucson produced, feature-length documentary delves into the 25-year saga of Postal, the infamous video game franchise by Running with Scissors (RWS). With its devoted fan base and an unfiltered, no-apologies attitude. This story is more than just a gaming controversy, this is the story of industry rebelllion, national controversy, and an unwavering commitment to having fun—without regret.
Director's Statement
As Tucson natives, Going Postal: The Legacy Foretold represents our combined love of filmmaking and lifelong fans of video games. This documentary is ultimately a labor of love born out of our shared fascination with how the Postal series became a lightning rod for debates about censorship, free expression, and the evolving role of video games as a medium. A Tucson centered film, we hope Going Postal: The Legacy Foretold will resonate with the Arizona International Film Festival's audience, sparking discussions about the enduring impact of creative expression in the face of controversy.
