Fringe star Lance Reddick (the very definition of bad ass) announced during this week’s TV upfronts event in New York that he would be starring in The 117, a futuristic sci-fi series for our upcoming YOMYOMF Network on YouTube. You may be asking (or not)–what exactly is The 117? Read on for your first look at this project (including some fantastic set photos by Robb Rosenfeld).
When we first started talking about the content that we would create for our YouTube channel, my fellow Offender Justin Lin was adamant that we should push ourselves as artists and try to do things that were ambitious, original and challenging. Our mantra became—let’s take risks and not be afraid of failure. And if we did fail, let’s fail big and on our own terms.
And one of the challenges we decided to undertake was to see if we could create a visual effects-centric webseries that could rival any big-budget Hollywood production on our miniscule-by-comparison YouTube budget. And the right director to take on such a job was Bobby Glickert.
