Web comedy series in polarized 3D

A new web live-action comedy series called “Safety Geeks: 3D” will be one of the first to be shot and streamed in polarized stereoscopic 3D.

In addition to being available on computers and hand-held devices, “Safety Geeks” is also 3DTV-ready as soon as those displays begin hitting the market this spring.

Safety Geeks, from co-writers-producers Tom Konkle and David Beeler and their L.A.-based Pith-e Productions, is a saucy, VFX-fueled tale of a group of semi-elite safety professionals, Safety Geeks SVI.

“The modular nature of our show allows the original eleven web series episodes to play well for platforms like mobile and web video while the one hour “movie version” lends itself to big screen home entertainment systems,” Konkle says.

A special free public screening of the first season of “Safety Geeks: SVI” in its original 2D format has been set for 7 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. Friday (Feb. 19) at Cinespace Hollywood. (Free reservations here.) The series is one of five webisodics being screened Friday for voting members of the International Academy of Web TV (IAWTV) who are in the process of selecting nominees for the 2nd Annual Streamy Awards in Los Angeles on April 11. The program will feature three episodes each of the five web series, beginning with Frank Krueger’s exploration of a dangerous, underground world in “Redemption: The Darkness Descending.”

David Nett will present his high-stakes comedy series, “Gold,” about professional fantasy role-playing gamers prepping for the big championship, followed by Sandra Payne’s comedy “Life with Kat & McKay,” about the ups and downs of a mama’s boy and a rich daddy’s girl as they make their way to the altar. The final series being screened is billed as a retro-futuristic comedy called “Space Hospital,” which chronicles the adventures of the robots, doctors and nurses stuck aboard a mobile hospital in deep space.
