Film from (not about) Second Life In co-production with Bente Milton of Milton Media ApS, and co-directed by and starring Fenris' own Mikkel Stolt, this feature length "documentary fantasy" premiered on ARTE on March 26th. The film is financed by New Danish Screen (Danish Film Institute, Danish Broadcasting Corp. (DR-TV) and TV2/Denmark), MEDIA and ZDF/ARTE among others. The plot is kinda hard to explain, so keep an eye out for "My Avatar and Me" and see for yourself on the film's website, www.myavatarandme.com. In-world we collaborated with Rob Danton and Deviant Media. (Photo: Henrik Ipsen)
"Rock Me" touring Denmark Danish Rock Museum's interactive exhibit, "Rock Me", which we at Fenris have contributed greatly to, is moving around in Denmark. Jeppe Raasthøj co-developed the whole thing with among others poco piu/poco piu design, and he is responsible for software and programming. Mikkel Stolt directed the music video backgrounds for "The BeatBlock scene".
