A reader writes, “Readers of his blog will know that Jason Scott (creator of the BBS Documentary) has just announced his plans for a new documentary. On the Text Adventure world!”
The next documentary I am working on is about Text Adventures, or Interactive Fiction. It is called “Get Lamp”. It has a introductory website (GETLAMP.COM) and I’ve been noodling with it for about 3 years. I got serious about it in June and have been spending significant time on it since September. This is, of course, in addition to my other duties and projects.
Now why, after finishing a massive film project, would I set off on a new one? Well, it’s fun, for one thing. It’s honestly a great time travelling around, meeting people, and getting down for posterity the thoughts and statements of what I consider to be some important folks. After a decade of wanting to make movies and then not actually doing it, it’s great to accomplish what I used to dream of doing when I was a teenager. So there’s that.
