"Space ain't what it used to be." Creators Steven Calcote and Lillian Diaz-Przybyl, along with Butcher Bird Studios, have released the final cut of their revolutionary sci-fi series Orbital Redux. All eight episodes are now available to watch on the Dust site. The first season was performed and broadcast live in 2018, with live music and live special effects - initially on Legendary Digital's Alpha platform. "It incorporated interactive audience elements that allowed the viewers to become part of the narrative," but also used old-school FX... "Plot choices have been locked in and viewers can experience this groundbreaking series in an entirely new way as the 'canonical narrative edition.'" In the series, Ex-NASA astronaut Max Levodolinsky readies his piece-of-junk space freighter for his latest transpo run to the Moon—while bickering with Space Traffic Control, his husband, his boss, and... his new pilot-in-training?!? Starring Yasmine Al-Bustami & Yuri Lowenthal as the two pilots.

Apple TV Plus released a trailer for Season 2 of “See,” which premieres on Aug. 27.
In the trailer, which you can watch below, Alkenny chieftain Baba Voss (Jason Momoa) dodges swords flying past his face, leads his tribe in battle and searches for his estranged and revenge-seeking brother Edo, played by Dave Bautista, a new addition to the cast.
Season 1 of the drama, which is set in a dystopian future where most of the human race has lost the sense of sight, saw Baba face a witch hunt against his two adopted children Kofun (Archie Madekwe) and Haniwa (Nesta Cooper) who do have the ability to see. In the second season, Baba must now protect his family from Edo while also preparing for an impending war with the Kingdom of Paya and the Trivantian Republic.

In this time of peak TV, content providers are trying to capture — and keep — the audience’s attention not only by allowing them to choose what they watch when they want, but also, to a degree, what happens within those stories.
Interactive television may not be a new idea — the 1950s show “Winky Dink and You” allowed children to complete pictures from the program by sticking a piece of vinyl plastic over the television screen and drawing on it — but newer technology allows for greater impact on the storytelling and gives executives the ability to track user engagement.
More than 90% of “Black Mirror: Bandersnatch” viewers engaged with the “choose your own adventure” story from the very first option (selecting a breakfast cereal), Netflix says, and that level of participation was the signal the streaming giant needed to “launch a whole new slate” of adult interactive content, according to the platform’s vice president of product,...

There have a few times over my years of attending film festivals that I’ve seen a short film so amazing I wish it had been feature-length. More often than not, I’ve seen films that would have worked as shorts, but fall apart as features. Unfortunately, Van Von Hunter falls into the latter category.
Based on a Manga series, the film is a mockumentary that envisions titular character crossing the threshold between his imaginary land of Dikay into our reality; specifically, Hollywood. He meets up with a student filmmaker who, intrigued by Von Hunter’s dedication to hunting evil “stuff”, encourages him to audition for a moving being made of the Manga based on him. What follows is a fish-out-of-water story, where Von Hunter learns of the evils of Hollywood, the trauma of love, and the precarious nature of stardom.
