One of the highlights at this year’s Emerald City Comicon 2011 will undoubtedly be a rare screening of the fan-made film Browncoats: Redemption. I know that fan films sometimes carry the stigma of being something thrown together by three friends in an afternoon in the backyard, but that is not the case here. Browncoats: Redemption is a high-quality production with a large cast and production values on par with something you’d expect from a well made TV movie. Check out the trailer below and prepare to be mightily impressed. Here’s the description of the screening, which will be Saturday, March 5 at 5:00 PM in Room 4A:
“Browncoats: Redemption is a fan-made sequel to Serenity. It is a feature film length, space western adventure that follows the same genre as Serenity and its predecessor, the television series Firefly. It takes place three months after the events on the colonized planet Miranda. 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. The Alliance is looking for a scapegoat for Miranda while those unhappy with the Alliance are looking for a rallying cry to take action. Through all this, a secret about Laura is exposed that shakes the very core of the crew, threatening to break it up, challenge the trust that Laura has earned with the Browncoats, and undo all the efforts she has put into place to keep a sense of peace in her life since the first Unification War. The movie is followed by a Q&A.”
You will also be able to purchase a copy of the film from the PDX Browncoats and the Seattle Browncoats with all the proceeds going to charity. Shiny! Be sure to mark this on your Emerald City Comicon to-do list and we’ll see you there!
