First Trailer for 'The Remarkable Life of Ibelin' Gamer Documentary

"It was just a virtual kiss, but boy I could almost feel it." Netflix has revealed the first official trailer for an acclaimed documentary film titled The Remarkable Life of Ibelin, formerly known as just Ibelin (the name of his game character) at its debut earlier this year. The film premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival in January, where it won the Directing Award and Audience Award in its doc category. Mats Steen, a Norwegian gamer, died of a degenerative muscular disease at the young age of 25. His parents mourned what they thought had been a very lonely & isolated life, when they started receiving messages from online friends around the world. It turns out he was a devoted gamer, and had built a charismatic profile in World of Warcraft (WoW) as the character called "Ibelin" and was known by many. The film takes place partially in World of Warcraft, while also showing both sides of Mats. I gave it a positive review at Sundance, saying "it's rare to see such a positive, optimistic film about tech and gaming these days." Highly recommend this. // Continue Reading ›
