Math Club Productions
Well, what to say.
I am one of the founders of Math Club Productions. I step back and will tell you of the beginnings. I was a school teacher, I thought I was happy doing that. As I worked I found I still wannated to do more. More entailed starting some podcast. As we (Jon and I) looked into podcasting we found that the market was going to be overun quickly so we marshalled our recources and attempted vlogging, vidcasting, or webcasting.
As I looked into this further I found that this was a viable way of distrubiting entertainment without out being attached to some mega-production company. It wasn't simple, but could be done with a team or group of interested peoples.
We started with a dramatic show. why? At the time we hadn;t seen any dramatic shows on the web. Some attempts to cross over from broadcast media were out their but very few. We wondered about doing some of the other shows we had in plans. The tech show seemed pointless with all the vidcast being of that variety, cooking shows will only do well if you have a hook, and comedy does well but is a hard sell to everyone. That left horror, sci-fi and drama. We chose drama.
"1337" was born. It was born out of a dream I had one night after the bombings in London. I dreamed a group of hackers stopped the bombings and saved all the people. This group started hacking to help people. I talked to Jon about this and we fleshed out a full season of 1337 in four hours. The next three days I wrote the first episode and the next week we casted it. Now the original pilot will NEVER be seen (if I can help it), but we did remake it in September of 05. Since then we have released 6 episodes and have four more before we put the season to rest.
As for the other shows we have started to produce not only those shows but other shows from the group of people that have helped us.
If you have an idea, follow it. If you have an idea about a short film, episodic show or a short sketch drop me a line and lets talk...
What's in the future... a short film wirtten and directed by Hak.5's Ali. We look forward to working with her and are excited about the project.
