Zimm The Series - Male and Female Screen Tests - ZimmTheSeries

Zimm The Series - Female Version Screen Test


Zimm The Series - Male Version Screen Test

Hi! We're excited about our new web series and we want you, our audience, to weigh in and let us know which actor you'd like to see play the lead character of Zimm.

We have two great actors and we love what each of them bring to the character. However, we can only have one Zimm.

Should Zimm be MALE or FEMALE? Let us know what you think at:
http://www.zimmtheseries.com

This is a rough cut from the pilot. It has TEMP SOUND and a TEMP SCORE but you'll get the idea.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Sci-Fi Series Lets Fans Choose Lead Actor

Zimm, a 24-esque, science fiction, action series needs your help deciding if the lead character should be a man or woman.

BURBANK, CA -- Zimm, an original sci-fi, action-thriller, described as 24 with aliens, is letting viewers vote on whether the lead character should be a man or woman. Fans can go to www.zimmtheseries.com and watch two dueling screen tests. One features the lead character, Bailey Zimm, being played by a woman and the other features Zimm being played by a man.

Executive Producers Maryam Storm and Gregory Storm came up with the idea of letting viewers vote on the lead character as a way of getting the audience involved and excited about Zimm from the start. This interaction will allow the audience to be more personally invested in seeing where the series goes since they played a direct part in the show's trajectory.

Zimm the series follows Bailey Zimm, an over-stressed, undercover, NSA Field Agent who is unwillingly recruited by a secret arm of the government to help prevent a terrorist attack by a newly discovered alien race.

The series is created and written by Gregory Storm whose writing credits include The CW's Girlfriends and ABC's Night Stalker.

In the short time since the videos went live, the screen tests have had over 2,000 views and counting. You may view the Female Zimm Screen Test directly by visiting http://www.zimmtheseries.com/?p=12 and the Male Zimm Screen Test directly by visiting http://www.zimmtheseries.com/?p=18.

Help with the Lonelycracker Awards

From LG15.com

BronzeGolem posted:

Ladies and gentlemen, meepers and lurkers it's time once again to celebrate our community, the next month will bring you once again *drum roll* The Lonelycracker Awards *applause*.

For those who don't know The Lonelycracker Awards are our community awards, in which we award to the best members of our community, the Golden Pmonkey award, for expertise in such fan areas as Best Commenter, Most Diligent Meeper, Best Avatar and so on.

Making an award ceremony is a lot of hard work so I'm setting up this discussion so you guys can leave your suggestions, opinions or give assistance if i ask you.

We have to take it upon our selves to make this the best ceremony we can, because lets face it Lonelygirl15 is dead, with no lg15, there can be no lonelycrackers, so this will be our last awards, our last chance to honour the great people we met in this comunity over the years, and also pay our respects to our dearly departed show.

Digital Hollywood 2010 Content Summit Panel Wrap Up Part I

Thanks to a twitter contest from DigitalLA I was able to win a pass to Digital Hollywood 2010. I was able to catch a few panels and just about all of them were for the Content Summit. In these panel wrap ups I'll give you what I felt were the key points made by the panelists followed by a Key Panel Takeaway. If you are interested in some of the other panels from Digital Hollywood video is available on their site.

Web Indies Explosion-How to Create, Produce, Fund and Own Your Own Web Show and Make a Living in the Process.

• Mark Vega, Founder, Libertas Law Group, Moderator
• Laurent Touil Tartour, Creator, Urban Wolf- Tartour state that what lead him to the web was that his goal was to get his movie worldwide distribution, which is impossible for an indie filmmaker. He went on to tell the amusing story of how he secured funding by going to venture capitalists and telling them his project was a start up and not a web series. His strategy was based on the philosophy, “if the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.”
• Jacob Rosenberg, filmmaker & CTO, Bandito Bros.- Rosenberg revealed that when a company secures them to create stills for print and a :30 second spot they will budget it so they have money left to create and present a web film.
• Daniel Tibbets, SVP & Studio Chief, GoTV- Tibbets advocated doing “work for hire” to establish yourself while building your own brands.
• John Heinsen, Founder, Bunnygraph Entertainment- Heinsen related that the studios didn’t get it and wouldn’t put the That 70’s Show website at the end of episodes because they didn’t want people turning off the TV.
• Doug Cheney, Partner, Big Fantastic- Cheney described the path in which Big Fantastic took, starting with “Sam has 7 Friends” which lead to getting repped by UTA which lead to meeting with Eisner which lead to “Prom Queen.”
• Key Panel Takeaway- The strategy of two of these panelists was to trick or misdirect the people they hoped to get money from. I'm not sure that should be the model to follow but I guess you can't argue with success.

The Web.Files #37 - Stupid for Movies

The Web.Files returns this week with an all new episode featuring the recently launched movie review series, Stupid for Movies. Kristyn Burtt interviews hosts Wade Major and Marke Keizer as well as the series creator and producer Mike Rotman. The trio discuss how they are attempting to redefine the movie review format as well as the advantages and surprises of having such an interactive audience. Also, watch to see whether or not Kristyn is able to successfully stump the two movie experts with a bit of suggestively placed movie trivia.

Hosted by LA film critics Wade Major and Mark Keizer, Stupid for Movies covers both recent movies as well as DVD classics. Filmed in a converted and conveniently sound-proof garage, the series is the brain-child of Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show producer Mike Rotman. Major and Keizer, who also host a podcast, engage in an entertaining and occasionally raucous discussion of recently released movies as-well-as discussions of user suggested DVD’s in a segment called “Rent it, Buy it, or Burn it.” The show also features a weekly news segment hosted by YouTube ‘celebrity’ Chad Vader via Skype. The show streams every Thursday at 11 Eastern, 8 Pacific on Ustream. Also, following the live broadcast, episodes are uploaded to blip.tv.

In this scripted, teen driven web series, a proper sixteen year old girl gets more than she bargained for when she begins deceiving her childhood friends to cover up her exciting new alter ego, while her older sibling faces challenges of his own dealing with an overbearing mother, new found adult responsibilities and sexual identity issues.

With a cast of professional actors (including four ex-Days of Our Lives stars, plus recognizable faces from television and movies), Miss Behave tells the story of the Archer children, Tori and Billy. Stemming from an affluent background doesn't always mean happiness as these two mixed teens reveal in this character driven web series inspired by real teens.

Looks Like Our Nominated Show is Ignored Again By TubeFilter

::::: UPDATE:::::

Tom Konkle said...
It is a gift to be chosen to be in this or any screening and in the Streamys.

The manner in which it is given is worth more than the gift.

We were contacted by Tubefilter now and they have decided they will include our nominated series in the screening and we are grateful to have a place at the table of relevancy while looking at last year’s work is still on the radar. It is all fleeting. It goes a long way to making us feel like at some point we had the nomination elevate our profile to be considered among the other ones already or repeatedly chosen.

So, a sincere thank you for the change of heart and giving us a moment this time too and we appreciate the decision to include a segment of the ridiculous Safety Geeks: SVI series we worked so hard on to be part of something this time in the presentation of Best of the Web, nominees and winners of the Streamys for a good cause… The Egyptian Theater organization.

From Anchor Cove...

Posted by Tom Konkle

Further damage control, they are host a Best of The Web screening of nominees and winners from the Streamys at the Egyptian theater and guess what we were invited to pay BUT we had sent clips to be included in the best of the web montage at the awards we were nominated for (silly us) we weren't in anything or even seen as a show in either awards so we asked the logical question, " as one of the "best" are we going to have clips from our shows in this event?"
