Second Skin is Pure West’s award-winning feature documentary about virtual worlds and the people whose lives are enhanced or destroyed by them.
In March 2008, Second Skin premiered opening night of SXSW. Without any news of a theatrical or DVD release, Second Skin landed extensive coverage in Newsweek, NPR, Wired, BBC, The Dr. Phil Show, Boston Globe, Variety and dozens of other major media outlets. Second Skin was also voted the #4 Documentary of 2008 by internet juggernaut Ain’t It Cool News.
This August, Second Skin will become the first widely released movie about virtual worlds, showing in theaters in NYC, LA, Austin, Boston and San Francisco for most of August, as well as Hulu.com.
Coming to theaters and DVD in August, Second Skin needed a dynamic website to cater to its core audience of online gamers. Pure West took it upon themselves to create a home for Second Skin fans with plenty to see and do. Bursting at the seams with functionality, SecondSkinFilm.com promises netizens everywhere a good conversation and plenty of extras to watch and experience.
