3rd year of IPF web series funding off to a great start!
Whew, what a month here at the IPF offices. For our March 1 Phase 1 deadline we received 153 applications for our web series production program. It was a blast to read all the amazing ideas folks have. We got a variety of submissions ranging from epic time travelling space adventures and doggy weddings to heartfelt last moments and choose your own adventure thrillers. We had the very difficult job of narrowing down the submissions to 31 projects to move on to the second phase of applications. The projects selected to move forward have until May 1 to submit more in-depth, longer applications.

Space Janitors debuted their pilot episode to rave reviews on The Escapist. The first episode introduces fans to Darby Richards and Mike Chet; two janitors who work on the Evil Empire’s space station. As they say, “for every Dark Lord, there are ten thousand minions who need working toilets. And when you’re plotting to take over the universe, you don’t really want to worry about whether or not the trash needs to be taken out.”
