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:
“The motion picture is like a picture of a lady in a half- piece bathing suit. If she wore a few more clothes, you might be intrigued. If she wore no clothes at all, you might be shocked. But the way it is, you are occupied with noticing that her knees are too bony and that her toenails are too large. The modern film tries too hard to be real. Its techniques of illusion are so perfect that it requires no contribution from the audience but a mouthful of popcorn.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
