Molotov Alva and His Search for the CreatorA documentary shot entirely in Second Life.
Coming in spring 2008 on minimovies.org: My Second Life by Douglas Gayeton. America's HBO network has bought the rights to first documentary made inside Second Life. Dutch producer Submarine has sold the television rights for the North American territories for the documentary ‘Molotov's Alva and His Search for the Creator: A Second Life Odyssey’ – the first documentary to be shot in its entirety in Second Life – to American broadcaster HBO for a substantial sum. The American channel will submit Molotov's Alva and His Search for the Creator: A Second Life Odyssey for an Oscar in the Animated Short Subject category. The first episode of the documentary series was launched on YouTube and was immediately a huge hit. The film was YouTube’s number 1 for several days, which caught the attention of a number of big American channels. As far as is known, this is the first time that a film that premiered on YouTube is bought by a major television channel. Molotov's Alva and His Search for the Creator: A Second Life Odyssey is a compilation of ten video diaries made by Molotov Alva, who disappeared off the face of the earth in January of this year, only to re-appear subsequently in Second Life. The diaries form the basis of the documentary directed by Douglas Gayeton. Molotov's Alva and His Search for the Creator: A Second Life Odyssey is the first MiniMovie in a series of eight documentaries produced specifically for online video channels, iPods and mobile phones.
