Tomorrow, on Wednesday the 30th at 3pm EDT/7pm GMT, Bejamin Ree, director of The Remarkable Life of Ibelin, will be hosting an Ask Me Anything (AMA) on reddit.com/r/movies! Popular among content creators, celebrities, and other individuals with interesting knowledge or experience, AMAs are informal question and answer sessions in which anyone may pose a question and the guest is given the opportunity to answer at their leisure.
Since its release on Netflix last Friday, The Remarkable Life of Ibelin has received widespread acclaim from game fans and film critics alike, praised for its remarkable insight into the life of Mats “Ibelin” Steen, a Norwegian World of Warcraft player who suffered from Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Despite its tragedy, the heartwrenching story is one of love and comfort, as it reminds us of the close bonds of friendship that have been formed, even among people who may never meet one another in person, and the profound effect it can have on our lives.
Over the following week, thousands of players have visited Ibelin's memorial in Azeroth, offering a kneel, prayer, toy, or simply silent reflection for the departed. Although some less than well meaning players attempted to disrupt the vigil, Blizzard quietly made the area a mount-free zone, so that all who come to pay their respects can do so.
Mirroring his real-world gravestone, the epitaph reads «deeply missed, never forgotten.»
