Web Series: ‘Brains’

Just what the world has needed – a genuinely original twist on the zombie series genre. No, really, it is. Yeah, we didn’t know it either. Then we saw this:

To quote the Brains web page:

“Brains” is a web series set after a three year zombie apocalypse on a college campus. 23-year-old Alison Sumner is a neuropsychology student getting back into video blogging now that the apocalypse is finally dying down, though to cover her tracks she tells everyone she’s making a documentary. “Brains” is a vlog record of her life, her friends, her love life, her science, and the still-troubling post-apocalyptic world she lives in. Season 2 premiered September 19th, 2016 and uploaded its finale November 21st, 2016. read article

The Return of ‘Morgan’s Organs’

A little under a year ago, right here on this very site, writer Daniel Brodie wrote about his Kickstarter campaign for Morgan’s Organs, a comic book that he had originally intended as a TV series.

And now, 11 months later, MO has re-emerged, alive, well, and funny as all hell as a prime example of that wonderful crossover genre – a web comic, making it simultaneously a comic book and a web TVish series as well.

We’ve read the first issue, and it’s My-T-Fine. Here’s the scoop about how it happened from the writer-creator himself: read article

Indie Video: ‘$1 Reserve’

Well, this is a fine howdy-do. Looks like the powerfully talented people of New Zealand have just come up with a web series every bit as hip, clever, and relevant as anything we can find on, well, any electronic media anywhere in the U.S.

EDITOR’S NOTE: We at TVWriter™ don’t often promote new web ventures because doing the best it can for our visitors and accepting paid advertising for other sites just don’t mix as far as we’re concerned.

But there we were, a few weeks ago, looking around the interwebs for an easier way to find a web series or two or two thousand to watch, and we found a site that totally knocked us out: Stareable.

We reached out to its head honcho and invited him to tell everybody who comes to TVWriter™ what it’s all about. Here’s what he had to say: read article

Web Series: ‘Whatever, Linda’

Not a web series for kids. Or by kids either, for that matter. This is BigTime pro stuff, all the way:

We found Whatever, Linda in large part through one of our favorite new websites, Stareable.Com.

Stareable’s avowed goal is to be the TV Guide of web series, and the site has the largest collection of shows of all genres, lengths, shapes, and sizes we’ve ever seen on the interwebs. If you’re a true believer in the future of indie TV, the site definitely is one to check out. read article
