"Mainstream television has, for a long time, under-served the science fiction loving segment. But with declining production costs, there seem to be two potential sources of alternative production/distribution: digital content (e.g. Netflix, Hulu) and crowd-funded projects. There's still not a lot of science fiction shows that are being produced by the major streaming services, but we'll probably see more with the success of Hulu's exclusive U.S. distribution of Misfits or Netflix's Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Doctor Who. On the other hand, you have many enthusiastic upstarts on Kickstarter that look novel and engaging while having a surprisingly professional look to them.

Which do you think will ultimately be more successful? Do you have any recommendations for other good material out there, or is there something you would like to see?"

    An effort to create full-feature anime movie using Open Source software only. The story is based on the Russian fairy tale “Marya Morevnaâ€. It is completely reworked to futuristic high-tech twist with a large amount of technobabble.

    While the license for the whole complete movie is still undecided, all sources will be available under CC BY 3.0.
