Watching Stuff With Our Brains Turned On

Soul Fire Rising

The more one bounces around online, the more little interesting things one comes across.

This bit of new online series came my way via Kelly Stables Twitter account, most recently recognizable as part of the cast of Romantically Challenged, the very hastily (and unfortunately) canceled sitcom headlined by Alyssa Milano. Stables is a producer on the show and made mention of it last week.

Soul Fire Rising (official site) is a horror-flavored online series slated for eight episodes. It tells the story of soul-stealing bad-girl Lilith and the part she plays in a little contest between demons and “wingers” (not the classic band, just another term for angels, it would seem). The first three episodes are up right now at KoldCast TV.

So far, I’m liking it. Good, solid production values, not quite on par with a show like the CW’s Supernatural but oddly equitable to ABC’s V. What little story there’s been so far seems pretty solid–some nice touches to Lilith and the demons in the show and it looks like our wingers are going to be just as interesting.

In the lull between regular TV seasons (and possible during the dearth of mediocre to bad shows it looks like we’ll have all summer), check out Soul Fire Rising if you’ve got a hankering for some horror. (You may also want to bounce over and check out Hamilton Carver, Zombie PI, which KoldCast is also carrying–its some good noir with a little undead twist and a firmly tongue in cheek attitude about it all.)

I’d like to see these series do well. With regular network TV producing more shows that doing have much more than a vague spark of life in them, seeing what excited and talented independent producers are doing is very encouraging.

    Jodi Lyn O’Keefe will join supernatural web horror series, “Soul Fire Rising.”

    Jodi Lyn O’Keefe (“Prison Break”) has joined the cast in the lead role of “Lilith.”

    Kelly Stables (“Romantically Challenged,” “The Ring Two”) executive produces & stars in the supernatural series. KoldCast.tv is set to run 8 episodes, each of which will be 3 and 5 minutes in length.

    SOUL FIRE RISING takes us on a journey between heaven and hell, where Demons and Wingers fight for human souls in the ultimate battle for supremacy. Kurt Patino created and wrote, and Dale Fabrigar directed and produced, the project.

    “Soul Fire Rising takes horror, the supernatural and a little bit of rock n’ roll to deliver a high-energy series tailored for the web. It’s programming like this that continues to raise the bar in execution and storytelling for the medium and its genre,” says Koldcast VP of Network Programming, Marti Resteghini.

    “I think the thing that attracted me to the project was Kurt & Dale, honestly…. They were so excited about it themselves, that it was pretty contagious…. I personally really love special fx, and anything kind of sci-fi… so for me, it’s just fun,” said Jodi Lyn O’Keefe.
