Beyond mere fanfic . . . fanmedia

Clive sent me a link to Into the Black, a site which hopes to create more shows based in the setting of Joss Whedon's Firefly and Serenity:

"Into The Black" is the first ever fan-made show based on the setting of Joss Whedon's "Firefly".

It's a labor of love, being made entirely by Browncoats in and around Vancouver, British Columbia, in Canada. We loved the show, and it ended, and gorram it, we weren't finished watching it! There seemed to be very few Firefly/Serenity fan productions of any kind out there, and we had some stories to tell... so we decided to.

"Into the Black" is being made in the format of a one-hour TV show. The first episode — and we do so hope there will be more! — is called "Mined Control", and is set on the backwater mineral-rich moon of Iscariot.

Global news even did a brief report on the project:

And the actual trailer is here.
