Quest lovers that we are (after all, who isn’?) we’ve fallen head over heels for JOURNEYQUEST, a fantasy web series that also just happens to be as funny as, you know, hell.
And we’ve got to admit we love the name of the prodco too: Zombie Orpheus Entertainment? Wonderful.
There’s lots to talk about re this show, but we’re talking a visual medium here so the best way is to see for yourselves. Here’s Episode 1:
Time now for more words of peer production wisdom. Today, the creators of web series THE COMMON CULT talk about the show’s successful Kickstarter, um, kick-off.
