The Scene (2004-2006)

This first-of-its-kind film was targeted to peer-to-peer (P2P) users, both in distribution, subject and style. Each episode is filmed as a combination of a web-cam video showing one of the actors superimposed on their desktop, showing e-mail, Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and instant messaging conversations. Most of the action takes place on the computer screen. The series were financed through sponsorship deals and released for free on the web and on P2P networks under a Creative Commons license.
