Experience 'Nina Unlocked' The Inaugural Web Series By New Sci-Fi Video Platform Recursor.TV

Nina Unlocked is an original web series from new sci-fi video platform Recursor.TV.

The series follows Nina (portrayed by YouTube star Lana McKissack), a sophisticated android - and former assassin - suffering from massive memory loss.

Nina embarks on a journey of self-discovery, interviewing experts in numerous disciplines including psychology, law, filmmaking, and robotics, in order to determine her true purpose.

Written and produced by Recursor.TV CEO E.J. Kavounas, the themes of Nina Unlocked are heavily influenced by sci-fi projects such as the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, and the motion picture Her.

The visual effects are terrific, especially Nina's exquisite design, which recalls the elegant, ethereal beauty of the android from the film Ex Machina.

The script possesses extremely sharp humor and wit, skillfully expressed through McKissack's wonderful performance as Nina.

Episodes of the series are now available for viewing on Recursor.TV: Nina Unlocked On Recursor.TV

Out Of Time - An Ambitious Time Travel Tale

What do you get when you mix together a sinister corporation operating on the fringes of science,  mysterious cranial implants, murder, and time travel? 

Out of Time, an ambitious sci-fi web series from creator-director Rodney V. Smith. 

The series tells the story of Chris Allman (Steve Kasan) a man suffering from blackouts stemming from an unknown cause.  

Seeking relief, Chris has inserted into his head an experimental implant created by the shadowy SOSUMI Corporation.  

Tragically, Chris witnesses the murder of his beloved girlfriend Sara (Julia MacPherson). To his dismay, he finds himself time traveling to different points within the last year of his own past.

Confused and desperate, Chris focuses on one goal - preventing Sara's murder. 

However,  the SOSUMI corporation has been secretly monitoring Chris. They are aware of his time jumps, and will stop at nothing to reacquire their implant. 

As Chris struggles to do the impossible - change the past - he must stay one step ahead of his pursuers. 

What immediately sets Out Of Time apart from many other web series is its scope.   

The pilot episode, The Accidental Time Traveller, clocks in at almost 15 minutes, and is actually a self-contained short film. The producers plan for subsequent episodes to also be approximately 15 minutes in length.  

This is a sprawling epic-in-the-making.

The series mythology has been fully realized.  Time travel abides by a definite set of specific laws.  There are supporting characters who have their own agendas beyond the obvious.

The cinematography is very kinetic, enabling the viewer to share in Chris' disorientation and anguish. 

And last, but not least, the visual effects are gorgeous!

Information from computers are displayed on mid-air "virtual screens."  It's an effect one must see to fully appreciate.

Take a look at the intriguing series trailer:

'Guides' The Web Series - They Are Helping Humanity Evolve...Or Else!

What if some of the most enlightened minds in human history weren't human at all?  

Instead, what if these extraordinary individuals were highly evolved aliens incarnated as humans, whose goal was to help humanity advance to the next stage of evolution?

No, this isn't the syllabus for a New Age symposium (well, it could be).  It actually is the premise for the sci-fi web comedy Guides.

Guides centers on  a group of altruistic, advanced aliens whose mission is to help us achieve "transmutation," by which we achieve our full mental and psychic potential.

There's just one catch - our guides have about 19 months left to accomplish their mission before the Galactic Alignment of 2012, or we will remain in our relatively primitive state forever. 

Complicating matters is the existence of rouge guides who feel humans aren't worthy to evolve - or exist - at all.

As the series opens, we are introduced to five benevolent guides: 

• Cree (Jenn Wilson) is the stern, dedicated leader of the group

• Dray (Alvin Lam) is oldest of the four, and the most infatuated with humanity

• Makenna (Jennifer Nangle) is free-spirted, but also very single-minded toward accomplishing her goals

• The Boss (Gayla Johnson) is, well, the Boss!

Opposing our protagonists are rouge guides including: 

• Zyra (Patricia Fructuoso) is most disdainful of humanity

• Koric (Eric Naroyan) is the consummate schemer

Guides is a blast to watch because of its sharp, satirical whit and humor.  

Various cultural, social and political realities are lampooned as a means to reflect just how screwed up we humans can be.

A great example is a scene in which a local news anchor is being fired. He can't understand why he is being let go after an extra-marital tryst is videotaped and released online.  His retort is to point out the video is popular with over 38 million hits.

Oh the social media generation! 

Created by Jenn Wilson, the series' satire succeeds due to the superb writing, and capable performances of the main cast. The actors seem to relish the material. Plus, there is great chemistry between them.

To get a feel for the tone of the series, watch the official trailer:

Guides is a light-hearted, sci-fi comedy with many cutting observations about the human condition.
