If you haven't yet heard yet of the Second Skin documentary project, it's definitely something worth being piqued about, as it's an endeavor to document the drama behind stories of virtual communities. Check out the trailer:
The Pure West team behind the film describes the project:
"Second Skin introduces us to the real people who populate these online virtual worlds. Couples who have fallen in love without meeting, disabled players whose lives have been given new purpose, those struggling with addiction, Chinese gold-farming sweatshop workers, wealthy online entrepreneurs and legendary guild leaders- all living in a world that doesn't quite exist."
They're set to premiere the film at the upcoming SXSW show in Austin, where they're one of the festival flicks. Via their Facebook group, I learned that the Pure West team has started adding video updates to their blog to keep interested parties up to speed on how things go at the big debut. Good luck, guys!
