Hugh Hancock steps down from AMAS board

Though most posts here are about Machinima in general, Thinking Machinima is also the official AMAS blog and requires me to make official AMAS postings from time-to-time. Today's posting is one - confirming Hugh Hancock's decision to step down as an AMAS board member.

The AMAS board has released a statement in regards to this event:

"As Hugh Hancock announced on the Strange Company blog, he has stepped down from the AMAS board. Since helping to co-found the Academy of Machinima Arts and Sciences in 2002, Hugh was an invaluable board member of the Academy. His contributions put the word "Machinima" into the cultural lexicon and helped shape the AMAS Machinima Festival to what it is today. We respect Hugh's decision to focus on his filmmaking and other areas of interest and wish him all the best in his future endeavours."
