StoryForge Labs‘s Executive Producer Steve Lettieri tells us of a new project and web site: SciFinal. Lettieri says “SciFinal is a website / directory showcasing the best in sci-fi web series online. As web series producers ourselves (Zerks Log), we found that independent shows get lost online amidst all the talk about Star Trek, Star Wars, Terminator, and the like. Those shows and movies are great, but they make it harder for us independents to get noticed. So what we want is for SciFinal to be a place hungry sci-fi viewers can go to find new shows. A hub for the best in episodic indy sci-fi—shows like After Judgment, The Cabonauts, or our own Zerks Log.
“It’s easy (and free) for series creators to put up a show page. We’ll be adding additional features as we go—like an integrated blog feed and connections to the SciFi Collective. We’re open to feedback, so let us know your thoughts.”
StoryForge is promoting the site by encouraging show producers create showpages as “a free way to promote your show.” And for viewers, they hope it will become “a way to learn about exciting sci-fi shows you may not be familiar with.” They’ve already got ten shows listed.
Thanks for the post Ian. We’ve had a great response to SciFinal so far. We now have 18 shows listed with more to come (and additional features on the way too). So stay tuned.
