The Story
Transmedia narrative is a new and exciting form of storytelling, and what better subject matter is there than extraterrestrial life and close encounters? Don't answer that. I studied this form of storytelling as my final project as a Media and Film Studies major at Birmingham-Southern College, and that experience will hopefully help me make this series all it can be and more. Son of Somerset Files is shaping up to be an intriguing look at one woman's search for the truth - both in her family history as well as to what is out there. This webseries will follow Chloe's investigation through vlogs, tweets, Tumblr posts, and Instagram pictures, and everyone will be invited to come along on the bumpy ride!

Gas
Costs $300
It's kind of hard to work with people when they can't teleport. And this isn't that kind of sci-fi.
Actress
Costs $400
Our lead actress will have a lot of screen time, and hopefully just as much payment!
Actor
Costs $225
We'd like to retroactively pay some excellent actors for their work.
Prop Package
Costs $100
Sometimes we might need some funding for set dressing. But not the ranch kind.
