October 5-8: Second Skin, the first feature documentary about online gamers @ Hollywood Theater
Second Skin, the first feature documentary about online gamers.
We premiered at SXSW 2008, and have played many festivals since. Liberation Entertainment bought the film, and now it is coming out nationally. The film will open at the Hollywood Theater October 5th-8th.
Second Skin takes an intimate look at three sets of computer gamers
whose lives have been transformed by online virtual worlds. An
emerging genre of computer software called Massively Multiplayer
Online games, or MMOs, allows millions of users to interact
simultaneously in virtual spaces. Of the 50 million players worldwide,
50 percent consider themselves addicted. From individuals struggling
with addiction to couples who have fallen in love without meeting;
from disabled players whose lives have been given new purpose to gold
farmers, entrepreneurs and widows, Second Skin opens viewers' eyes to
a phenomenon that may permanently change the way human beings
interact.
Full details for the screening are listed here.
