They have just released the pilot episode of their latest venture as part of Telus' STORYHIVE campaign. The contest will reward 50K to two web series to help fund full seasons.
Watch the pilot episode below then head on over to their STORYHIVE page and vote. Vote, damn you!
Kevin, jaded video store owner, rises from behind a desk, Jerry can in hand. Gas splashes out onto racks of movies. The video store has met it's end, the love he had once had for the films of the straight to video era is gone. His bags are packed behind him; he strikes a match. The return slot flings open and gusts of air howl through the room; dousing the flame. A mysterious BETA case drops in from the opening. Curiosity piqued; he puts it in his vintage player. The TV screen flickers momentarily; then erupts as a large rotating black hole vortex pours out. Everything in the room collapses, pulled into it, including Kevin. Screams and ominous laughter wake him. In a twisted turn of fate, he is trapped inside his B-movies, and must fight the terrors around him to end this video nightmare.
I am sure that once you watch the pilot you will agree with us that Straight To Video deserves a full season. But that will only happen if you vote for it.
