Microsoft recently dove head first into the world of film making with our first ever in-house produced documentary entitled Ctrl+Alt+Compete.

As Darryl McDade explains it’s the behind the scenes stories of five startups and how they take their ideas and develop them into products we might end up using in our everyday lives.

But, it’s not always that easy. This documentary is brutally honest and shows all the highs and lows a startup and entrepreneur can go through during this process. Along with the celebratory fist pumping wins there are also the awkwardly painful face-palm moments to say the least.

I’m itching to see the movie myself, but have had to satisfy my cravings with the interview footage and deleted scenes that didn’t make it into the full length movie. You can check these out on Channel 9 or Facebook. Believe me, totally worth the watch.

Though if you don’t want to take my word for it you can always read Todd Bishop’s review on GeekWire.

In the meantime, here is the official trailer for the film:
