See Hours and Hours of Detroit Sci Fi in one night

“InZer0” is the story of an ambitious courier with a hidden past that must weave his way through a dangerous city populated by magic users, aliens, and warring aristocrats, all of whom want what he has to deliver – hope.

Six full hours of a ground breaking series shot in Detroit on a shoestring budget. Begun as an experiment in filmmaking in February of 2006, the series quickly grew into a community of creative professionals bonding over a single project.

“It was an amazing experience to be part of InZero for so long.” Jonny Victor who plays Thames the series hero said “ To be able to watch our team not only become seasoned professionals along the way, but to be able to have practiced my craft for so long as one character and to be able to explore Thames as deeply has been a real blessing. I’m truely grateful and lucky being able to share the excitement and momentum that has fueled us all on this awesomely original project.

The entire community of Detroit became involved with the production, locations including the Belle Isle Conservatory and recently closed aquarium, Wayne State’s Manoogian Hall and Old Main, Russell Industrial Center, and private homes in Indian Village and Palmer Woods.

Well known Detroiters appeared in the series as featured extras, cameo appearances included Mick Collins of the Dirtbombs, Danny Methric of the Muggs, Songtresses Queen Bee and Audra Kubat, radio personality Quinn Klinefelter, and artist Carl Oxley III.

Local musicians were anxious for the new opportunity to match their music to the story. Audra Kubat’s sultry voice backed the theme song and other talented Detroit musicians including Ben Cyllus, Tone & Niche, RAI, Dendura, Ganon, Chiasm, The Mind's Eye, and Ether Aura.

A full evening of InZero beginning at 6 p.m. with Episode 1 and culminating at midnight with episode 12 on Tuesday September 4th at the Royal Oak Main Art Theatre. This evening offers a marathon session that lets the user follow the progression of the story as well as the progression of the filmmakers as they set out to create 12 episodes in 12 months.

Thought Collide will present the “InZer0” marathon on September 4th at 6:00 p.m. during the Mitten Movie Project at the Main Art Theatre (118 N. Main Street, Royal Oak, MI 48067).

The Mitten Movie Project is a festival based in Detroit that is dedicated to exhibiting the work of digital filmmakers in Michigan and beyond with monthly screenings on the first Tuesday of each month.

After the screening, an afterglow party will be held at Bastone (419 S. Main Street – four blocks south of the Main Art Theatre). 21+ welcome. DJ sets by the InZer0 cast and crew. Pre-sale tickets are $10 at the Main Art Theatre the day of the showing or $11 via Pay Pal at www.myspace.com/inzero.
