2005 Machinima Festival This Weekend

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the things-to-see dept.

An anonymous reader writes that "Village Voice has a small article by Julian Dibbell about the Machinima Film Festival that takes place this Saturday (Nov. 12th) at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria. The festival is also holding their annual awards on Friday night. For me, the highlight is their honoring David Wright for creating Keygrip (the program behind the creation of Quake movies like Blahbalicious and Operation Bayshield) - which is a nice nod to machinima's roots. "

    Is this the end of the Hollywood-based, profit-driven, money-grubbing, piracy-preventing, your-rights-violating, politician-donating-to movie empire?

    I, for one, welcome our stiltedly-animated overlords.

    See, that's why I love this guy. Not only is David Wright an excellent hitter, a marvelous third baseman, and an all around good guy, but now it seems he's also a programmer.

    You go, David Wright! I'm very glad to have you representing my New York Mets!
