After a little re-work, the website of Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy is finally back!

Check it out! You can now leave comments wherever you want (posts, pages, guestbook…)!

Feel free to let us know what you think about the project there!

“Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy” is available in streaming and for download, starting from today.
In a few days other distribution channels will be shared, so that everybody will be able to download the file from different channels.

Philanthropy has been a challenge nearly impossible to complete, started three years ago. We didn’t imagine, then, all the troubles we would have been into and all the obduracy that we would need to complete the project.
By the way, we didn’t know, how much support we were going to find, how many friends we were going to meet, how many passionate and generous people were going to help us.

The release of “Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy” make an end of the first life history of Hive Division. The team, nearly a family now, is going to take some time to decide what’s happening next.
We do not really know when we’re going to produce the two sequels of Philanthropy (whose script was written together with “The Overnight Nation” in 2006). This will depend on many factors: the reaction of our public, the future of professional Hive Division, who is looking for financial partners to realize our next projects and partners to become a real Production Studio, and, for sure, Konami’s reaction to the project.
We feel and hope that one day Snake, Elizabeth, and Pierre will complete their journey.

We are deeply grateful to all those who have been following the project, even during its “mysterious” phases when we were working so hard that we couldn’t update you as we would have liked to.
We happily put this movie in the hands of the Internet, the “primeval soup” in which our project was born and raised, to which we owe so much and which we hope to have provided with something meaningful.

Due to technical issues, the Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy web site is not accessible, but you can download the movie from the following links.

We’re sorry for the inconvenience, we’ll soon be on-line again!

Enjoy the movie!

After three years of hard work, Hive Division had a reunion to finally watch the whole MGS: Philanthropy movie on the silver screen.
At the end of the 70-minute long projection, a chapter of our personal history and of our lives has been definitely closed, leaving a strange mix of joy and melancholy behind.

We don’t know what the future deserves to our band of brothers, but what we do know is that… this time, we did it!

Here’s the track of this week: “Will There Be An End” (right click to save and download), the ending track of the movie by Aoife Ferry. Thanks again for this great piece of music for our project!

Yesterday workshop has been our first official conference about the movie. Thanks to all those who came and attended, to all the support and interest that you showed us! It was really fun to share our experiences, difficulties, solutions and so on with people interested in our workflow and, in general, in our no-budget and lot-of-fun adventure!

We will soon post more photos (and maybe videos, too!) of the conference.

Here‘s the second track composed by Daniel James, called “Praetorian Battle”.

We also wanto to remind you the Hive Division special event at Venice Off with this short Teaser.
