Academy of Machinima Arts & Sciences
The Academy of Machinima Arts & Sciences (AMAS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and advocacy of the machinima industry. Founded in March 2002 by ILL Clan co-founder Paul Marino and other machinima producers,[1] the AMAS holds film festivals for machinima. As part of these festivals, exemplary machinima productions are recognized through awards nicknamed the Mackies.
[edit] 2002 Machinima Film Festival
On July 17, 2002, the first Machinima Film Festival, sponsored by NVIDIA, was held as part of QuakeCon 2002. However, according to David Stellmack of TG Daily, the larger QuakeCon event seemed to overshadow the festival, which was "not very well attended".[2]
