Some people make a career out of playing video games, pocketing a handsome amount of cash in the process.
Bel Air-based mobile app and gaming company 24KT Studios is looking to make a documentary about so-called pro gamers, and are now raising $5,000 on Kickstarter to pay for the production and travel costs.
