Join The Immortal Augustus Gladstone director Robyn Miller and producer Mischa Jakupcak for a live chat at the online screening February 24, 2014 at 7pm PT. Tickets to the online show are available on a pay-what-you-will basis (including free!).

From the creator of Myst comes a story of alienation and love in the digital age. Meet Augustus Gladstone, a 156-year-old eccentric who seeks celebrity and craves connection via social networks. But the line between fantasy and reality is blurred when a documentary film crew prods too deeply into Augustus’ private life, sparking an irreversible chain of events. The Immortal Augustus Gladstone has been released online on a limited basis through the popular blog, Boing Boing, Vimeo and VHX. The soundtrack featuring the music from the film which Robyn composed and the wide release of the film on iTunes is scheduled for April 1st, 2014. This rare opportunity should be exciting! We urge you to grab some popcorn, get comfy and settle in for a groundbreaking film experience with its creators.
