I'm a bit bemused by this new web company.

Here's info on it:


May 14, 2007 –— Stage 3 Media Inc., an independent production company specializing in new media entertainment, today announced the worldwide premiere of Sanctuary™, an innovative new webisodic series led by internationally-recognized actor Amanda Tapping (Stargate: SG-1, Stargate Atlantis). Featuring stunning visual effects and innovative interactive elements, Sanctuary takes the viewer into a thrilling world where science meets the supernatural. The first of Sanctuary’s eight 15-minute webisodes can be viewed exclusively online at www.sanctuaryforall.com (http://www.sanctuaryforall.com/).

“I feel like we’re riding the crest of an amazing wave,” says Tapping, who also serves as executive producer. “Sanctuary is such an exceptionally cool premise. I am so very proud of this show and hope the fans will feel the same buzz we’ve felt in bringing it to life.”
It's an interesting idea, but $2.00 for a 15-minute download seems pretty out-of-wack with industry prices. Why in the world would I pay $16 to see a 2-hour show on my small computer screen when for that same amount I could go to an actual theatre twice, or buy a decent fraction of an actual DVD set?

Let alone the fact that they appear to know the industry so poorly that they have no idea they're setting themselves up for a cease & desist from the Thieves' World owners.

And, UGH, the flash! The flash!

But Amanda Tapping, that's kinda cool.

Actually, they probably know the industry far better than the the Thieves' World owners. Almost everybody on the show has been involved in both genre TV/movies, and the video-game industry, for some time now, with the most experienced having a couple of decades under their belt.
