New campaign for TECHNOPOLIS webseries

Greeting everyone it's been a few weeks.
Our kickstarter campaign "THE RESUME" was cancelled to be revamped into a 15 minute episodic webseries entitled TECHNOPOLIS. Much was learned from our first fundraising endeavor and needless to say I'm very excited about the new direction this series will be taking.

Details are being kept secret at this point but I assure you it will be one of the most entertaining series on the net. STAY TUNED!

DJ TERRY MULLAN COMPOSING ORIGINAL MUSIC FOR TECHNOPOLIS SOUNDTRACK

Terry Mullan, Chicago’s turntablist extraordinaire, turns out dance floors week after week throughout the US and abroad. His credits include Twilo, 1015 Folsom, Sona, Bugged Out, The End, Pure, The Queen amongst raves as far off as Japan, Australia and Germany. He has developed a faithful following to those who know through his signature style of funky quirky jacking acid house combined with cutting and scratching making up an entirely new genre all his own.


The eighties posed as the formative years of Terry’s career. Although his roots began in hiphop, he found himself smack in the middle of the Chicago house explosion. House and Disco were styles of music that were entirely new to Terry, but the match was struck. Soon after gaining inspiration from the Chicago air personalities like Ron Hardy, Farley “jack master” Funk, Mike “hitman” Wilson via 102.7 WBMX, Terry made house his home. Next, when acid house hit the US, the link was completed; Terry found the sound he was looking for. Never one to follow the masses, he borrowed from each genre to create what we all know to be Terry’s sound, putting a bad ass twist on an otherwise conservative house scene.


Terry’s activities soon diversified to include remixing and producing. With the development of his own label Catalyst Recordings, Terry took things to the next level. Through his label he released projects for the likes of DJ Sneak and Ian Pooley, as well as for himself under Speakerphreaker. Additionally, Terry gained notoriety for his track under the moniker “Serotonin project” which was featured on the Chemical Brothers mix album entitled “Brothers gonna work it out”. Some of Terry’s more recent accomplishments include the largely successful “La Nina/Nickel bag da funk” E.P. on Smile under Speakerphreaker. (Terry Mullan & Halo Varga collaboration). His remixes for and alongside DJ Dan are also favorites of DJs all over the globe. These tunes have earned him a reputation that extends worldwide. If you have experienced a Terry Mullan set (and chances are you have) then you know he rocks the show, ’nuff said!

EPISODE 1 "THE RESUME" TEASER TRAILER


Takes place during B.L.U.E.'s capture/recruitment campaign of Lavender’s "Super 13" Agents.The viewer will see the world of Technopolis thru the eyes of one of the "Super 13". Fruzina Farago, a former French spy now possessing enhanced physical durability, speed, agility, reflexes, stamina, eye sight, strength and a slow aging process. As stated before, one of the side effects was a heightened sense of paranoia. And we play on this by showing two sides of Fruzina's reality. What we see through her eyes may or may not be what's really going on.

Just like the movie Sin City each episode will contain different characters each with their own unique story in the city of Technopolis. So in addition to Fruzina, we will see the perspective of Technopolis thru a normal citizen’s world, a B.L.U.E. Soldier’s world, Toxin, Lavender Grey and various people of interest.

T E C H N O P O L I S the series

Technopolis is a futuristic science fiction action series that takes place in a fictional city of the same name in the year 2049. Technopolis takes place in a dystopian future in a world that draws heavily upon present day theories of the advancement of the human race both, physical and mentality via the mergence of humans and technology.

Most of the locations will be fictionalized versions of real-world locations, including Orlando, Chicago, Detroit, New York City, Paris and Bangkok.

The plot of Technopolis depicts a fictional United States devastated after an attack from Russia, China and Iraq. Society quickly loses faith in the US government. Mass rioting begins, Marshall Law is declared, but then the military and local police forces begin to fail. As a result a mass majority of citizens decide that the nation has a better chance of survival not as one nation and one person deciding the decisions for all, but many different forms of governments within each state each with the right to choose their own form of government.
