Social Networking, Filmmaking Pioneer Douglas Gayeton Joins MoU
We’ve had a few strategic arrivals in recent weeks, but we’re especially proud to welcome our new Chief Creative Officer, Douglas Gayeton. Douglas’ eclectic career has found him at the cutting edge of filmmaking, video game design, and social media. His documentary film, “Molotov Alva: Video Diaries from My Second Life”, was the first machinima ever screened at the Cannes Film Festival and is the first piece of its kind to be acquired for distribution as a television series. Prior to joining Millions of Us, Douglas also worked with MTV on their virtual world initiative.
Douglas’ arrival is a key development in Millions of Us’ strategic plan to assemble the world’s leading talent across multiple virtual world and social media platforms. He’ll mentor our production teams and inject a fresh perspective into all of our client campaigns. And who better - Douglas created “Delta State”, an award winning animated TV series, and also directed and co-wrote “Johnny Mnemonic,” an interactive film based on a story by cyberpunk author William Gibson. He is also among the earliest architects of social networking technology, having built applications for AOL, Microsoft, Vivendi and Napster.
