Web Series: Afterworld

Afterworld is made by the same producers of Gemini Division. I haven't had a chance to check this out but apparently this sci-fi web series has earned itself a bit of a cult following.

Russell Shoemaker, an advertising executive on a business trip, wakes up in a New York hotel room the morning after a worldwide, catastrophic phenomenon wipes out all signs of life. Or so Russell thinks.

After finding fellow survivors, he begins a harrowing 3000 mile journey across the US in hopes of finding his wife and daughter alive. Along the way, Shoemaker meets and comes to the aid of other survivors. In this post-apocalyptic world, Russell Shoemaker becomes a symbol of hope, a modern superhero in search of what matters most, whose arrival is often-times eagerly anticipated by remaining survivors. This is one man’s odyssey of self-reliance, innovation and optimism.

Part graphic novel, part cinematic narrative, part primetime drama, AFTERWORLD is a fully immersive, scripted thriller engaging worldwide audiences via mobile, on-line and broadcast platforms.

Web Series: Gemini Division

I'm plunging myself underground soon with some time to kill and I'll be checking out some web series that have come out in the last couple of years or are just about to start up.

Starting today, Rosario Dawson stars in "Gemini Division".


Gemini Division is about an NYC detective investigating the murder of her fiance. During the investigation she uncovers a global conspiracy involving the creation of simulated life forms that have assimilated with the unsuspecting public.

Gemini Division also combines the first true convergence between internet based entertainment and advertisers creating a "launch pad" designed with the dissemination of product information as it's creative process. Acura, Cisco Systems, Intel Corp, and Microsoft Corp. are among the first brands involved with the development of the program.

Xenogenesis (1978)- James Cameron

Via Binary Bonsai


James Cameron's first film, presented as a part of an ongoing series, and with hardly any plot to speak of. It showcases all things Cameron in a 12-minute robot vs. robot low-budget special effects demo.
