Second Life Romance Featured in Valentine's Day HBO Documentary By Oscar-Nominated Filmmaker (Updated)

Second Life romance is featured in When Strangers Click, a documentary debuting this coming Valentine's Day on HBO, from Robert Kenner, director of the Oscar-nominated Food Inc. It's about love and relationships as they're expressed online (as you probably already guessed), and one of the couples discovers each other in the metaverse. This isn't even the first Second Life documentary to air on HBO -- that would be Molotov Alva and the Search For His Creator, by Douglas Gayeton, who I believe was involved in some capacity on this new documentary too. (At least enough to IM me mysteriously out of the blue, "Hey, I'm in SL with the director of Food Inc.!", as Douglas did last year.) So expect a stellar production.

Rik Riel, who gets the scoop, has also seen the film and has a short, overwhelmingly positive review on his blog. And go here to follow the movie on Facebook (where the image above is borrowed.)

Update, 11:40am:  Screening times and an excerpt from HBO's press release on the movie below, courtesy Peter Gray of Linden Lab. Also, via Swedish SL blogger Tina Dahl, the SL wedding video of the couple featured in the documentary, known in-world as Bara Jonson and Nickel Borrelly:

From the HBO press release: "Robert Kenner (the Oscar®-nominated “Food, Inc.”), tells the revealing stories of people whose lives were transformed in unexpected ways by online encounters when it debuts on Valentine’s Day, MONDAY, FEB. 14 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO2. Other HBO2 playdates: Feb. 14 (5:00 a.m.), 16 (9:00 a.m., 8:00 p.m.), 22 (6:00 p.m., 4:10 a.m.) and 25 (8:00 a.m.) From a woman turning 30 who’s starting to fear she’ll never get married, to a failed Swedish businessman who finds love and fame in the 3D virtual world Second Life, to a young gay man for whom the Internet becomes a lifeline, the stories in WHEN STRANGERS CLICK span the range of human emotions, from loneliness to elation, from confusion to fulfillment, from humiliation to hope... In addition, the film captures the stunning beauty and bizarre leaps of imagination of the entirely human-constructed world of Second Life through the video technique machinima."
