FilmNut Interviews Director Trey Stokes

Director Trey Stokes, Ark Pink Five was the guest tonight. Ark is an exciting new Sci-fi thriller web series starring Renee O'Connor (Gabrielle from Xena: Warrior Princess). Stokes talked about it all from concept to completion. Having a strong visual effects background definitely came in handy for Stokes on Ark. We show a clip from Ark with and without effects with Trey then explaining how it was done. Pink Five is a Star Wars fan film that has won multiple awards and is simply a must for an fans of the original three movies.

ARK received 4-1/2 out of 5 Stars in a review by John J. Joex of Axiom's Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy dated February 3, 2011.

"Ark was made on a rather hefty budget (for a web series) of around $50k and is quite an impressive production for this format."

"The acting is quite good, though (....) Connie is also way to (sic) bad-ass for a third grade teacher, but as the series progresses we get the suggestion she may be more than she seems."

"In any case, this is a great web series for those new to the format because of its near professional production values. And it’s also a great story that any Science Fiction fan should enjoy."
