The SunFisher, new machinima by Cecil RELEASED!

-Second Life
CECIL HIRVI'S ground-breaking THE SUNFISHER Premieres in Second Life, Friday, MAY 15 @ 1pm SLT!

This original story about a virtual-world weary borg breaks new ground in digital storytelling and machinima-making.

"Cecil Hirvi’s Second Life pursuits, challenge our precepts of how films may be created in the future." -Glendale Daily Planet

The 11th film in the "Saga of Cecil" canon finds our anti-hero wishing for a quick death to end his seemingly fruitless battle against petty tyrants and virtual nincompoops.

Cecil Hirvi's work has been hailed as some of the best machinima work/storytelling being done in the virtual universe and this latest film continues to go where no one has gone before.
