Gemini Division

Stars Rosario Dawson.
Starts August 18th online.



NBC picked it up. But is leaving it online for fear of ending up with another Quarterlife (bombed on TV).
(source).


The trailer includes 39 seconds of title cards (shudder) and it looks like the show is a lot of poorly-blended, un-corrected greenscreen. Poor Rosario.

This seems to be the new series business plan (for industry insiders). Create a web series and as you're shooting it, sell it to a network.

It worked for Leverage.

Its so important that Gemini Division does well. It’s the kind of innovative product that injects the interactivity of the internet into the traditional lean back viewing model of old media.

Its success would bring much needed attention to a groundswell of indie interactive web TV projects like ours.

One gripe though is geoblocking the show to the US, I think its a cop out, failing to fully embrace the tenets of operating on the internet by making it virally distributable and available worldwide.
