The Memos are a compilation of 38 demented clips. Available on the 31st of October 08.
The Memos is perhaps one of the most compelling and exhilarating collections of its kind. Grabbed from selected scenes from three of Virtual Alien/Nick Peterson Psychological Thrillers In and Out of Planet Earth, The Complete Map of the Universe, Speed of Light and the black comedy: Writing on the Wall.
What transpires in the stories is the sheer dementia of all the characters. The films are chilling, frightening and horrendously insane.
Starring
Mark Joseph, Stuart Mansell, Jenia Emmanuelle, Jonathan Cross, Alex Hall, Vincent Hall, Dolly di Rosso, John Waterhouse, Stuart Timings and Virtual Alien.
Edited by Virtual Alien and Produced by Tom Norwood, Alex Altman and David Altman.

Speed of Life the documentary on the making of the film Speed of Light is now available for download in the U.S. only and in the UK inside the DVD of the film Speed of Light. The documentary is not available in the U.S. version of the DVD. The 50 minutes documentary features most of the cast, the director and one of the producers.
Speed of Life could truly be a film on its own, a comedy spin-off of the real film. Inside there is an answer to the burning question about the sex scene in the film. Most argued that it was for real and couldn't have been acted. The censors certainly thought that it was for real.

For the first time in 10 years Virtual Alien has officially announced that he will embark on a two-year World tour, combining live music and film projections!
'Yes I have started some films almost 7 years ago. I've never completed them...Until now. I did it all the wrong way (or was it?). I started another project then another then came back to the previous one. Then comes the distribution: '"You have missed your year! Try next year!" '. Well it doesn't matter now: It's all (almost) there. All edited, all scrutinised by the censors (I believe nearly all of them have nudity. Except 2. Not a deliberate choice) '.
Ahead of the January release of the film collection Amazon is the first retailer to start selling the collection:
Speed of Light
The Complete Map of the Universe
