As I wrote in this blog last October, after the “E for all Expo,” the philosophy behind my company, Unconventional Media, is to deliver a fresh angle for new entertainment, incorporating movie storytelling into game play.

I believe with the immersing technology of virtual game worlds, we can create storylines to form a new kind of entertainment. It’s like my fictional screenplay, “Press>Play” as reality. We enter the story, virtually.

the reason I’m writing is because of Michel and his desire to direct a feature film. This was way before “Human Nature” and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” He wanted to direct a feature film and at the time, the one he wanted to direct was “Green Hornet.”

The Sundance Film Festival of 2009 wraps up this weekend. I almost went this year. I even purchased a festival pass, but after watching the Inauguration Tuesday on television, I don’t think Park City, Utah was the place to be this week!
