Machinima Film
Cinematic director Jake Hughes independently combined the game's cut-scenes into a two-and-a-half-hour film, released as 13 MPEG files on Machinima.com. The work was considered the genre's first feature-length production and one of its most ambitious projects. Judges at the 2002 Machinima Film Festival awarded it Best Picture, Best Writing, and Best Technical Achievement. Machinima.com's editors said of the film, "Anachronox: The Movie is a tour-de-force, one of the finest Machinima films produced to date, and probably the most accomplished Machinima feature to date. Hell, it managed to hold two over-worked jury members in a room for two and a half hours before the MFF 2002 - what more can we say?". As of 2003, Machinima.com planned to release the film on DVD with extra footage and artwork.

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“Film is more than the twentieth-century art. It’s another part of the twentieth-century mind. It’s the world seen from inside. We’ve come to a certain point in the history of film. If a thing can be filmed, the film is implied in the thing itself. This is where we are. The twentieth century is on film.... You have to ask yourself if there’s anything about us more important than the fact that we’re constantly on film, constantly watching ourselves.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
