We have completed the first three episodes of Season One (9 eps total) and have received glowing reviews. Our world premiere occurred July 6th, 2010. You may watch the first three episodes here. We are honored to be Official Selections for the Flagstaff Film Festival and the 5th Annual Independent Television Festival!
How You Can Help
Our goal is to raise $13,000 to complete our first season. Each episode costs roughly $2,000 with equipment rental, location fees, insurance, editing, special effects, catering and meager pay for the hard working, professional cast and crew. Your tax-deductible donation makes you a special member of an elite team we lovingly call: SOLONAUTS. There are great benefits of being a SOLONAUT: Your name in the credits. First peek at all future episodes. Behind the scenes gossip and photos. AND you will forever have our ETERNAL LOVE AND GRATITUDE!
If you cannot make a cash donation, you can still make a difference – tell IndieGoGo to feature our show by clicking the ‘feature it’ button on the bottom-right of this page.
Synopsis
Our hero, Scott Drizhal, is chosen to go on a solo, 3 year mission to Mars as part of a reality series. Unfortunately the show is canceled and Scott is now stuck on a round-trip ticket to Mars and back. With no company in deep space other than a smart-ass, artificially-intelligent ship computer (PHAL), his wife declaring him legally dead so she can claim the millions in insurance, a Napoleonic producer whose hubris lands him and the show into Japanese mafia infested waters and a malfunctioning, prototype ship that was never meant to fly to Mars… Hilarity ensues.
What the Critics are Saying
“Now, give SOLO credit for one thing: they’re not subtle, and they don’t want to be. Very promising. A solid WIN!” ~Tubefilter.tv
“Hilarious. The casting is spot on and inspired. Try something new, give SOLO a shot.” ~LAist.com
“Must watch comedy! SOLO raises the bar for future web series.” ~Examiner.com
“Laughing out loud. It’s like ‘Defying Gravity’ – but funny.” ~TuningIntoSciFiTV.com
“PHAL9000? I’m sold already. Not to be missed!” ~Clicker.com
“The show has plenty of energy and chutzpa, and delivers on situation comedy.” ~VisioWebTV
