S

SteveSutton

Here are the first seven episodes of a science fiction series that I've been making since 2001. I'm, primarily, making it as an excuse to experiment with special effects, but I'm, also, trying to tell a story. Note that it's being made under "nightmare conditions", since I don't actually own any video production equipment.

All of this talk and posts about "The Portal" I mean what is this about!?

So I DL the latest episode and watched some of it... I have to say that now I have to go DL ALL of them and watch it from the beginning.

THIS is how independent film is... take what you have and make something great. From what I saw, it's really cool. I mean you, yourself playing all the acting parts, that's amazing. AND what's even more amazing is that you're not running with a large budget, little budget, or ANY budget for that matter.


since "The Portal" only has 15 episodes with only 5 more to go... what's the next project? Looking for a little funding?

What would you do with $5000?

I'm not sure what the next project will be. It's probably going to be several years, before all of the remaining episodes are made and the series wraps. I might try to do some smaller projects before then, though. As for funding, I'm not really looking for any. I'd feel like I would have to pay it back, eventually, even if the funder said I didn't have to.

I'd buy some real production equipment.
