An Internet Odyssey: The Next Gen Of Webseries

In the new frontier of digital content, the 'webseries' or ‘micro budget content’ as it’s fondly being called, is the go-to form of expression for most entry-level content creators beyond YouTube vlogging. But how does one combat the limitations, saturation and stigma of this medium in order to actually connect with audiences in the changing landscape of the world wide web and digital devices?
Something that will resonate with the current ADHD audience yet take them on a fresh and exciting “internet odyssey”?
Using the blueprint of the newly released, award-winning, 1970’s-period digital dramedy and festival darling WHATEVER, LINDA, members of the creative team and the leader of the Emmy Award Winning interactive, digital media agency Secret Location will showcase how a typical DIY webseries can be reborn as a compelling, binge-worthy internet odyssey with high production value, innovative interactive technology features. All on an indie budget.
