I don't have much experience in film making myself but I do know of some people who are going down the route of self-producing projects. I don't know if they will be able to help you or whether they would have time to talk, but it would be worth you having a look at what they are doing. Jessica Mae Stover - 'Artemis Eternal' -(http://artemiseternal.com/) "...a professional sci fi fantasy short intended for film festivals..." Jessica is a very accomplished, driven person and the website shows you the progress they have made so far. 'Browncoats: Redemption' (http://www.browncoatsredemption.com/) "...takes place three months after the events on Miranda and we find Captain Laura Matthews and the crew of Redemption unintentionally thrown into a situation that some view as the potential catalyst for the second unified rise of the Independents against the Alliance, since Unification Day..." This is a fan-made film set in the Joss Whedon Firefly/Serenity universe. They are film projects but you might be looking for something different. If so, how about web TV? There are new production companies such as Strike TV (http://www.strike.tv/) who might be interested or who might be able to help. Then there are the web TV site such as TubeFilter (http://news.tubefilter.tv/), Tilzy.tv (http://www.tilzy.tv/) and NewTeeVee (http://newteevee.com/). They don't commission but they have lots of information about independent projects and might be a source of further help. I wish you well with it and keep posting on how it's going! Hi David,

It sounds like an interesting project, and a story that deserves to be told. I don’t have much experience in film making myself but I do know of some people who are going down the route of self-producing projects. I don’t know if they will be able to help you or whether they would have time to talk, but it would be worth you having a look at what they are doing.
