browncoats

Are you a Browncoat? Are you interested in who a movie comes together? Can you imagine a project built on a passion to really make a difference? If any of those questions bring a positive answer, then you should make it a point to show up at Wednesday's DC Media Makers meeting.

Michael Dougherty (writer & director) and Steve Fisher (co-producer) have created Browncoats: Redemption, a feature-length fan film based in Joss Whedon's Firefly universe, and all profits will benefit charities. They'll be coming back for their second visit to DCMM. (Their first was what brought me to the group and I can't thank them enough for that.)

The magic will be happening at the NPR offices (635 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC) at 6:30 p.m. Show up early and get a good seat, it looks like it'll be a crowded meeting.

Ever since work on Browncoats: Redemption wrapped, the cast, crew, and friends have tried to get together at least once a month to keep the fun going.

This time around, it was the MD Renaissance Faire.

For some, it was their first time being at faire. Others more or less grew up there. Everyone had a fantastic time.

How can you not? Elephant rides, bodices and corsets, pirates, armor, mead, beer, wine, food on a stick... what's not to like?Read more
