How long does it take you to film an episode?

"The trailers were developed within a six month timeframe. From building the infrastructure of key personnel, non-profit corporation filing, developing costumes, gathering actors, purchasing expensive camera equipment, storyboarding, scriptwriting, web site development, original musical score, sound, props, permits, etc. All done after work and weekends... The trailer itself represents a record within itself!

"Many may think that the trailer was for publicity and advertising; however, the trailer served primarily for us as a 'lessons learned' to prep us for filming the pilot. We now possess first hand knowledge of camera operations, green screen techniques, ACTING, etc. We are poised for doing the pilot episode!" -John Broughton, Executive Producer
