HBO has acquired Molotov's Dispatches in Search of the Creator: a Second Life Odyssey, the first documentary to be shot entirely in a virtual world. The animated documentary will premiere on the network in 2008.

Directed by Douglas Gayeton ("Johnny Mnemonic"), 'Molotov's Dispatches in Search of the Creator: a Second Life Odyssey' tells the story of Gayeton's avatar, Molotov Alva. Alva exists in Second Life, a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by a total of 9,188,392 residents from around the globe.

In January 2007, Molotov Alva disappeared from his California home. Recently, a series of video dispatches by an avatar of the same name appeared within the popular online world called Second Life. In these dispatches Molotov Alva encounters everything from Furries to Cyberpunks to Neo-Luddites to Sex Slaves to the King of the Hobos, Orhalla Zander, who assisted Molotov in his search for the creator of their brave new world.
