Vim Pickens probes the...

"[U]sefulness of terms like "experimental" or "avant-garde" in an age where the new is sought after in digital media as it develops every five minutes. So here are surreal, abstract, romantic, cynical, humorous, dissenting, obscure, oneiric, satiric machinima and film (and whatever rubric you want to apply to them), where new forms are being tried out all the time along with new modes of dissent and controversy by: Iono Allen, Brandon Dennis, NicoleX, Maya Deren, Ping-Yao Chen, Paul Carr, Anima Technica, Tom Jantol, Pip Chodorov, Gaelle Denis, Joe Zazulak, Lainy Voom, Pia Klaar, Alex Chen, Friedrich Kirschner, Toxic Menges, Tutsy Navarathna, Friday Siamendes, Saveme Oh...and even me. ;)" (Vim Pickens)

This documentary was presented at the 2013 Machinima Expo Festival.
