The video documentary Second Skin has been on the festival circuit for a while, but next month the film jumps to a larger arena. Okay, not in the Landmark Theaters sense of the word, but still, the film's upcoming schedule of screenings in New York City, Somerville, Mass., and Austin, Texas portend good things for the already positively received documentary on virtual worlds and MMORPGs.
The film's writer and producer Victor Pineiro had this to say to Boing Boing yesterday: "Our documentary on virtual worlds, Second Skin, which premiered at SXSW last year, will finally be coming out in theaters and DVD in August. I produced it with my friend Peter Brauer and it was directed by my brother Juan Carlos. The three of us spent two years racing around the world following gamers who had fallen in love, become addicted, formed enormous guilds, or made their living playing MMOs like World of Warcraft, Everquest and Second Life. From gold farmers to disabled gamers, we tried to get a sense of how integral virtual worlds are to the fabric of life these days. We'd love you to check it out - the first five minutes are available on Current TV - here. The movie's coming to NYC, LA, Austin and Boston in mid-August, and DVD everywhere on August 25th."
