  • Who are we? Why are we here?
    Excellent questions, Adm. Stockdale.

    DJ Bad Vegan wrote and directed the offbeat DIY sci-fi feature In-World War, currently in post-production. A life-long sf fan, he grew up reading sci-fi icons such as Jack Vance, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein and Anne McCaffrey -- and worshipping Star Wars, Star Trek and the original BSG. He also produced the acclaimed underground feature, Quality of Life. (It's not sci-fi, but still watchable, believe it or not.) He also serves up practical, in-the-trenches tips and lessons for other ultra-low budget filmmakers at DIY Filmmaking Sucks.

    Ben Rubin is a scholar and a gentleman, currently in the MFA program for film at Columbia University. He also needs to write his bio. We're going to publicly shame him until he does so. Shame shame shame Ben Rubin. Shame.

    Nuala is a cat. There's really nothing more to it than that.

Our pledge to you

Hunter Prey: Crash landing frees a crafty alien fugitive

Hunter Prey is an awe-inspiring and visually striking space thriller that is all the more impressive when taking the shoe-string budget into account. We saw the first thirty minutes of the film at Comic-Con and it kicked ass.

This is a must-see. If Syfy doesn't pick it up, they're nuts.

From the official website:

Hunter Prey centers around a group of elite intergalactic commandos that have crash-landed on a harsh and unknown planet while transporting an alien prisoner. Now they must track down and recapture the escaped creature, and their orders are to bring it in ALIVE.

Equal parts action adventure, psychological thriller and artful science fiction, writer/director Sandy Collora's (known for his special effects work on films throughout the 90s) film brings together the best of these sub-genres to create a wholly original and very impressive piece of independent sci-fi.

Check out the official website for more info or pre-order the DVD from Amazon.com
