SubmarineChannel Presents the First Documentary, Entirely Shot Online Within Second Life: My Second Life

AMSTERDAM, March 13/PRNewswire/ -- Several documentaries have been made about Second Life, but now there's a
film that actually takes place inside this popular virtual world. In the film
'My Second Life' the main character sets out on a journey and the viewer tags
along.

My Second Life

In January 2007, a man named Molotov Alva disappeared from his California
home. Recently, a series of seven video dispatches by a Traveller of the same
name have appeared within a popular online world called Second Life.

In these dispatches Molotov Alva encounters everything from Furries to
Cyberpunks to Neo-Luddites to Sex Slaves to the King of the Hobos, Orhalla
Zander, who becomes Molotov's guide as he searches for the creator of their
brave new world.

Filmmaker Douglas Gayeton came across these video dispatches and
assembled a documentary in seven episodes, with a total length of 35 minutes.

SubmarineChannel will release these episodes on several distribution
channels. The first episode is now online at: www.molotovalva.com . My second
life is part of the Minimovies series of SubmarineChannel.

documentaries, specially produced for online video channels (You Tube, Google

website, which will be launched April 2nd.

Mnemonic', the first interactive cd-rom based movie, for Sony Imagesoft. His
