Made in Second Life: The Movie (2023)
Filmmaker Bernhard Drax presents a feature-length love letter to the 20-year-old virtual world of 'Second Life.' Blending machinima, in-world footage, and user interviews, the film explores how creativity, commerce, and identity emerge in user-built spaces. From gardening entrepreneurs to musicians earning tips, avatars build meaningful lives powered by a digital community. Through scenes of skill-sharing, economic exchange, and social connection, the film offers both a celebration and a thoughtful reflection on the culture shaped within this enduring participatory metaverse.
