Pioneer One (TV Series)

TV Series (2010-2011). 7 Episodes. Pioneer One is a dramatic series that will be distributed, for free, through the VODO network. VODO is an online distribution platform which is able to reach millions of viewers through their relationships with existing BitTorrent communities. Our previous film, ‘The Lionshare‘, was distributed through VODO and was very well-received. Now we’re turning things up a notch. In the pilot, what first looks like a terrorist act turns out to be a Cold War relic come back to haunt the present. We follow our main characters, a team of Homeland Security agents, as they discover the truth of what’s happened: a forgotten Soviet space mission has returned to Earth, and what it’s brought back will have implications for the entire world. It’s part political drama, part procedural drama, with a tinge of sci-fi. But beyond the initial catalyst, which is fiction, everything has its root in factual events. Right now we are working on finishing our pilot episode as a proof-of-concept for the series. Once we secure funding for the rest of the season, six more episodes will follow to finish out our 7-episode first season. From there, we have four more seasons’ worth of story we’re waiting to tell. Each new season of stories takes on a new perspective with new characters and situations that will ultimately contribute to a much larger narrative.
