NL TV machinima premiere: ‘”Molotov Alva and The Search for the Creator”

Somehow historic: On november 7th 2008 a SL machinima movie premiered on national television in The Netherlands, after succes on the web.

MOLOTOV ALVA AND HIS SEARCH FOR THE CREATOR:

A Second Life Odyssey

In this movie director Douglas Gayeton explores the online life of Molotov Alva, a Californian man who disapeared without a trace from ‘real life’. Suddenly he appears in Second Life with a series of 10 video dispatches.

In this Second Life adventure Molotov Alva encounters everything from Furries, to Cyberpunks to Neo-Luddites to Gorean Sex Slaves, to the King of the Hobos: Orhalla Zander, who becomes Molotovs guide as he searches for the creator of their brave new world.

.

This movie has been the best viewed video on Youtube for a while and it is also the very first SL machinima in history acquired by a major American television broadcast network: HBO
