[Frameworks] Experimental cinema and video games

[Michael Betancourt]

There's all of machinima that does this. I wrote something in Found Footage 6 about Peggy Ahwesh's work with Tomb Raider in She Puppet and Alex Hovet's Counter-Charge if you're looking for references too.
Also Cory Archangel's Super Mario Clowds.

That could be one point of departure, finding experimental films that could have influenced video games.
