We Need to Talk About Oscar

A memory to live by, with the Director of ‘The Remarkable Life of Ibelin’

Spending too much time within the confines of your home, in front of your computer, might lead some to tell you to “touch some grass”. But what do you do when that’s not an option? You touch others’ hearts in the world of World of Warcraft and make a difference in the digital world that translates into the real one. That’s exactly what Mats 'Ibelin' Steen did during his short yet impactful life. His story came to life in director Benjamin Ree's genre-bending documentary The Remarkable Life of Ibelin.
In our interview with Benjamin, we dive deep into both the emotional and technological sides of crafting this touching story, which reveals the unexpected surprises a physically and temporally limited life can hold.
