kyrathaba:
I listened to the first two episodes this morning. Great stuff!

40hz:
At the risk of going OT, here's another indy (via KickStarter) work produced for the web that I think is very promising. It's a thriller/scifi movie called Pioneer One.
Here's the first 8 minutes of episode one to whet your appetite:
Pioneer One is an independently produced drama series made for the Internet.
...
In March 2010, writer Josh Bernhard and director Bracey Smith quit their jobs and set out to produce the pilot episode of Pioneer One as a proof-of-concept for how the series could be produced and released. Funds were raised through a Kickstarter campaign, favors were called in, and much sleep was lost. The pilot was finished shooting by the end of April 2010 and was released online on June 15th through VODO.net.
Then something unexpected happened.
Within two weeks, the pilot was downloaded nearly half a million times, and $20,000 was raised from viewer donations alone. By the end of the summer, we had raised well over $30,000 from people all over the world whose sole interest was seeing the show continue and succeed. We made plans to produce the next three episodes of our 6-episode first season with that money.
In October 2010, off the heels of the pilot’s win for “Best Drama Pilot” at the 2010 New York Television Festival, production began on episodes 2, 3 and 4. These episodes continue to be released as we’re raising funds for the final two episodes of season one, with production planned for May, 2011.
--- End quote ---
They've completed 4 of the 6 episodes for their first season. Episodes 5 and 6 have recently finished shooting and they're asking for contributions to help get them finalized.
Full episodes are available free to either download in HD or watch online.
(I was impressed enough that I bought in. :Thmbsup:)
