This is a digital life well examined. A-”
TIME MAGAZINE’s TV pick of the week
"Douglas more or less invented a new technique to shoot machinima, waded through 100 hours of footage, and wound up with a movie that challenges the very definition of "documentary".
Wagner James Au in NEW WORLD NOTES
“Alva lands in the virtual world of Second Life and narrates the documentary like a travel writer exploring a new country - imagine Alain de Botton transplanted into a virtual world and asked to explain things.”
Chris Stevens, in THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
“Douglas and Molotov were able to produce an immersive experience that gives viewers a true understanding of what one experiences in a virtual world.
Tamara Krinsky in Documentary Magazine
“The first glimpse of the future of moviemaking.”
Barry Yourgrau in THE HUFFINGTON POST
“Possibly the best example of machinima I’ve seen.”
Mitch Wagner in INFORMATION WEEK
“Whimsical, thought-provoking and visually arresting”
“Gayeton’s experiment may eventually become a cult-classic like ‘Bladerunner’ or ‘Logan’s Run’”
“A Marco Polo Story for Our Times”

Every generation portrays utopias, whether it be in music, art, literature or even film. Today these ideals are explored in the creation of virtual worlds. Molotov’s quixotic journey continues through a maze of videogames, virtual worlds and MMO’s as he searches for ... Futuretopia.
An HD film coming next Fall from Rumplefarm.
