In the Fourth Episode
Halfway through the Calgary quarantine, the media begins to question whether the story about the crashed satellite is the real truth. Meanwhile, Secretary McClellan (Einar Gunn) starts to play hardball with the Russians in pursuit of his own truth. But everything hinges on what Yuri (Aleksandr Evtushenko), the frightened boy at the center of it all, might have to say…
he PIONEER ONE story continues with this new episode ‘Triangular Diplomacy’, funded and distributed by YOU. Producers Josh Bernhard and Bracey Smith have built on the success of episodes one and two, released through VODO since June 2010 to an audience of millions.
Bernhard and Smith have now raised almost $20,000 of the $60,000 they need to finish episodes 5 & 6 — including a spectacular season finale! All audience sponsorship across episodes 3 & 4 contributes to the production of these final season episodes.
If you are just starting to watch the series, here is episode one.
What is VODO?
‘VODO could be a valuable tool for indie filmmakers who recognize that obscurity is a much bigger threat to their efforts than piracy.’ – Mike Masnick, Techdirt.
