Teleport up to the Red Sky Club by right-clicking on the red column.

The screening will be followed by live entertainment. The Second Life pilot project has been made possible by the help and co-operation of the The Written Word foundation within Second Life. The Written Word group provides free space within SL for writers in all forms to socialise and to display and share their work. It is organised by published poet and fiction editor Jilly Kidd (Adele Ward in real life) and novelist Hastings Bournemouth (aka Peter Chowne).

If you cannot attend the screening, don’t worry! The short films will be added to the website after the event has taken place.
