Zimm The Series - Female Version Screen Test


Zimm The Series - Male Version Screen Test

Hi! We're excited about our new web series and we want you, our audience, to weigh in and let us know which actor you'd like to see play the lead character of Zimm.

We have two great actors and we love what each of them bring to the character. However, we can only have one Zimm.

Should Zimm be MALE or FEMALE? Let us know what you think at:

This is a rough cut from the pilot. It has TEMP SOUND and a TEMP SCORE but you'll get the idea.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Sci-Fi Series Lets Fans Choose Lead Actor

Zimm, a 24-esque, science fiction, action series needs your help deciding if the lead character should be a man or woman.

BURBANK, CA -- Zimm, an original sci-fi, action-thriller, described as 24 with aliens, is letting viewers vote on whether the lead character should be a man or woman. Fans can go to www.zimmtheseries.com and watch two dueling screen tests. One features the lead character, Bailey Zimm, being played by a woman and the other features Zimm being played by a man.

Executive Producers Maryam Storm and Gregory Storm came up with the idea of letting viewers vote on the lead character as a way of getting the audience involved and excited about Zimm from the start. This interaction will allow the audience to be more personally invested in seeing where the series goes since they played a direct part in the show's trajectory.

Zimm the series follows Bailey Zimm, an over-stressed, undercover, NSA Field Agent who is unwillingly recruited by a secret arm of the government to help prevent a terrorist attack by a newly discovered alien race.

The series is created and written by Gregory Storm whose writing credits include The CW's Girlfriends and ABC's Night Stalker.

In the short time since the videos went live, the screen tests have had over 2,000 views and counting. You may view the Female Zimm Screen Test directly by visiting http://www.zimmtheseries.com/?p=12 and the Male Zimm Screen Test directly by visiting http://www.zimmtheseries.com/?p=18.

Harmony- StrikeTV

"...I am Ken LaZebnik; it was my honor to adapt Phil's books into these short pieces. As you all have noted, this is just a taste of the great things in the "Harmony" series of novels. Right now, we are looking for a corporate sponsor who would be interested in sponsoring additional episodes. It could be through product integration or just traditional advertising. We're hoping to find the right sponsor and continue making more episodes!"

Help with the Lonelycracker Awards

From LG15.com

BronzeGolem posted:

Ladies and gentlemen, meepers and lurkers it's time once again to celebrate our community, the next month will bring you once again *drum roll* The Lonelycracker Awards *applause*.

For those who don't know The Lonelycracker Awards are our community awards, in which we award to the best members of our community, the Golden Pmonkey award, for expertise in such fan areas as Best Commenter, Most Diligent Meeper, Best Avatar and so on.

Making an award ceremony is a lot of hard work so I'm setting up this discussion so you guys can leave your suggestions, opinions or give assistance if i ask you.

We have to take it upon our selves to make this the best ceremony we can, because lets face it Lonelygirl15 is dead, with no lg15, there can be no lonelycrackers, so this will be our last awards, our last chance to honour the great people we met in this comunity over the years, and also pay our respects to our dearly departed show.

Digital Hollywood 2010 Content Summit Panel Wrap Up Part I

Thanks to a twitter contest from DigitalLA I was able to win a pass to Digital Hollywood 2010. I was able to catch a few panels and just about all of them were for the Content Summit. In these panel wrap ups I'll give you what I felt were the key points made by the panelists followed by a Key Panel Takeaway. If you are interested in some of the other panels from Digital Hollywood video is available on their site.

Web Indies Explosion-How to Create, Produce, Fund and Own Your Own Web Show and Make a Living in the Process.

• Mark Vega, Founder, Libertas Law Group, Moderator
• Laurent Touil Tartour, Creator, Urban Wolf- Tartour state that what lead him to the web was that his goal was to get his movie worldwide distribution, which is impossible for an indie filmmaker. He went on to tell the amusing story of how he secured funding by going to venture capitalists and telling them his project was a start up and not a web series. His strategy was based on the philosophy, “if the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.”
• Jacob Rosenberg, filmmaker & CTO, Bandito Bros.- Rosenberg revealed that when a company secures them to create stills for print and a :30 second spot they will budget it so they have money left to create and present a web film.
• Daniel Tibbets, SVP & Studio Chief, GoTV- Tibbets advocated doing “work for hire” to establish yourself while building your own brands.
• John Heinsen, Founder, Bunnygraph Entertainment- Heinsen related that the studios didn’t get it and wouldn’t put the That 70’s Show website at the end of episodes because they didn’t want people turning off the TV.
• Doug Cheney, Partner, Big Fantastic- Cheney described the path in which Big Fantastic took, starting with “Sam has 7 Friends” which lead to getting repped by UTA which lead to meeting with Eisner which lead to “Prom Queen.”
• Key Panel Takeaway- The strategy of two of these panelists was to trick or misdirect the people they hoped to get money from. I'm not sure that should be the model to follow but I guess you can't argue with success.
