Following in the footsteps of YourGREEKNews, another web series I direct (and this time co-host) is making the jump from the web to TV. Which is NOT to say that YourGeekNews.com will have any less content on it — on the contrary, once the TV version hits its full stride, YourGeekNews.com visitors and subscribers will be treated to not one, not two, but THREE episodes a week, including our established behind-the-scenes movie previews, our movie REviews, as well as a new segment that we’ve always wanted to do: video game reviews!

So take a look at episode numero uno below, and if you like what you see, be sure to let me know! Hopefully we can find a broadcaster in YOUR area who can pick up the show for your viewing pleasure.

And if you’re a broadcaster who is interested in picking up the show for your station, just send an email off to Tim at Frogwater Media, and we’ll make it happen.

Six Reasons Why is already for sale in a few parts of the world, but on August 26, 2008 the DVD drops in Canada, and there’s a theatrical premiere and press tour to kick it off at 8pm at the AMC Courtney Park in Mississauga. Here’s a map! And here’s the Facebook Event!We’ll have cast and crew, including Mr. Colm Feore, on hand to meet and greet as well as a Q&A session and of course, an afterparty.

So if you feel like catching a thought-provoking, post-apocalyptic Spaghetti Western on a Tuesday night in August, we’d love to have you there!

And if you can’t make it, don’t worry… you can buy Six Reasons Why on Amazon.com right here! And on Amazon.ca right here!

"Whosoever asks me of my birth, I will tell them: I am born of Irish princes who ruled in Donegal a thousand years ago; that I am a descendent of the high-kings of Ireland; and my name is from the clann O’Dochartaigh."

After the enormous undertaking of GENESI, Matt wanted to make a small, self-contained short film. He failed. As usual, when writing, the story spiralled into a 7-part epic anthology dealing with religion, the end of the world, and the devil himself.

Matt’s first feature-length film was made in an unorthadox way: as an interactive television model shot 90% on a green-screen stage. Recognizing the fact that some people want a lean-forward interactive experience, somewhere between a video game and movie, and that others still want to flick on the DVD player and do nothing, Genesi: The First Key was a designed to be a flash-based character-oriented interactive television model allowing a viewer to select one of seven characters at the outset of the film, and experience that character as the protagonist of the story. Afterward, selecting another of the characters would drastically change the impression of the very same events, making motivations clear and creating a viewing experience where the audience is not told who the ‘good guy’ or ‘bad guy’ is, and let to decide for themselves.
