Be Part of LIGHT, an Internet Series

Tommy Kraft is a student at Albion College who's interested in directing film. He has several projects that he has written and are in the process of being produced. Among those projects is "Light", a twenty episode web series that will be shot over the course of Summer 2011. It's an action/drama that follows two friends who get caught in the middle of a terrorist plot to find an ancient artifact.

"Light" is the first of it's kind on the internet. No one has yet to create content of this type and especially in a fashion that allows for weekly release. Each episode will be approximately 6-8 minutes (with the exception of the last episode which will be closer to 25 minutes).

Although participation is on a volunteer basis, those involved will get screen credit. This could be a great opportunity if you are looking for a good portfolio piece or just for a chance to do some acting. If there are any questions please feel free to email him at tommy@projectnresource.com
