Over the past nine months or so, writer / director Shelley Matulick has been making a documentary about Second Life. Its working title was CyberStars but the final product has a much improved title of Alter Ego. SBS and Matulick have previously released Our Brilliant Second Life, but the latest production is a significant step up in scope.
The final promo poster for Alter Ego looks like this:
Stalwart ABC Island admin, Wolfie Rankin, is one of the subjects of Alter Ego and he gives his thoughts on the finished product on his blog. There’s no confirmed release date as yet. This is a documentary that should garner quite a bit of interest, particularly if its portrayals have depth, which seems to be the case on initial impressions.
Any news about expected broadcast date yet?… I don't want to miss it (in case I have my 0.5secs of fame as a background extra! 😛 )
Hi Orval – no news on broadcast date but I do know it's still on the boil.
According to a Second Life notice from Wolfie Rankin, the show will air Friday 27th June, 10pm (AEST I presume) on SBS
Bugger! Make the Friday *26th* June, 10pm (AEST I presume) on SBS
And it's off again it seems… I was hoping that I had misheard that the 26th rumored broadcast was not happening, but it according to the SBS website “Footy Chicks” has be scheduled instead… GRRR! So I guess it's more on the simmer than boil?… [sigh]
