LOS ANGELES, May 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Metalepsis, a new media company started by video-technology and artistry pioneers Joseph Matheny and Alexandra Bruce, has announced the launch of the first movie to be created specifically for connected DVD Set-top, Computer DVD ROM, and DVD capable consoles like the Microsoft X-Box, and the Sony Playstation-2. This DVD release will not only showcase the Metalepsis' new wave of MetaMedia titles, it will prove Metalepsis' ability to successfully combine the intense interactivity of the Internet with the enveloping characters and story line of a motion picture.
The DVD itself will actually contain two different movies, one on each side of the disc. One side tells the story of Game Over, a tale of intrigue narrated by Joseph Matheny. The movie investigates the circumstances surrounding the shocking recent discovery of a parallel dimension during an experiment run by a rogue ``garage scientist'' in the heart of Silicon Valley, during the Internet boom of the '90s. The experiment ultimately leads to contact with a fourth dimensional entity that uses a supercomputer and the bodies of the dispossessed to enter this realm and follows the ultimate conspiratorial fallout as certain shadow organizations take note of the experiment's results. As the viewer watches the movie, he is presented with a myriad of interactive opportunities to explore this mystery using the Internet as a guide.
The other side of the DVD will contain a movie by Alexandra Bruce that embodies a similar aesthetic to Game Over. Titled Montauk Girl, it is based on the hair-raising, true story of this researcher's investigation of the Montauk Project. According to survivor accounts, the Montauk Project was a series of space-time operations conducted by the US Office of Naval Intelligence during the 1970s and 1980s. Bruce's probe of the Montauk Project becomes an investigation of the architecture of reality, itself.
Montauk Girl is a nonlinear, hypertextual, interactive movie experience, where viewers can, themselves become actively involved in this investigation. Links include an array of pertinent websites, ranging from those of cutting edge theoretical physicists to those of ``crackpot'' survivors of the infamous experiments, as well as access to never-before-seen documents belonging to the researcher. Parallel universes come into view, revealing the true creative potential of the quantum precept of ``Observer Created Reality.'' Human consciousness has almost godlike space-time generating potentials that are as yet little understood. The process of Montauk Girl is a step towards that understanding.
Both movies combine the captivating nature of the cinema with live, dynamic Internet content, a combination that represents the first such interconnection between the film industry, the Internet, and the DVD ROM medium. And because both movies were entirely written, shot, and produced solely for DVD ROM, they contain a synergy between the medium and the message that is otherwise unobtainable.
Produced using the iMMERSION suite of software products, this DVD enables viewers to see Internet content from within the movies themselves. The viewer can use the DVD disc to view live, streaming media on the Internet in conjunction with DVD-specific content or simply get caught up in the movies themselves. The benefit of the DVD medium is obvious because this particular DVD release will be viewable on more than 50 million DVD-ROM players worldwide, including the Sony PlayStation2 and Microsoft's X-Box. Metalepsis' groundbreaking DVD release will reach millions of people using technology they already own.
