Pioneer One – Crowdfunded Sci-Fi
I love science-fiction.
I love sci-fi in pretty much all its forms, but I have to admit, I especially like science-fiction television and movies. And, these days, as Hollywood produces more and more of the same stuff over and over, unwilling to take risks, I find myself loving sci-fi television more.
Now, with cameras and equipment as reasonably priced as they are, it’s possible for small, independent film-makers to roll their own media, in both film and television. Combine that kind of low-budget, but high-level of passion for production, with all the different ways people are funding their favorite projects and, well, what you’ve got is Pioneer One.
Now, I have to admit, I haven’t shelled out the money for it just yet, but go check out the trailer and tell me if you aren’t at least a little intrigued by what you see. I know I was. Kind of looks like the X-Files, but crossed with Operation Blue Book. Seems like it might lead somewhere.
Oh, and they must be doing okay, because they’ve got six episodes now, so someone is coughing up the money to keep this worth pursuing for them.
In any case, it’s Friday, so why not at least check out the trailer? You won’t be sorry!
