ATLANTA BASED INDEPENDENT SCI FI WEB SERIES, THE SENTINEL CHRONICLES SECOND SEASON (SENTINEL 2.0) PRE-RELEASE TRAILER DEBUTS ONLINE SATURDAY SEPT 19 2009
Season 2.0 kicks off with teaser trailer and "What is the Sentinel Chronicles" series re-cap starting this Saturday.
Atlanta, Georgia, September 14, 2009
The first of several promotional trailers for the second season and "What is the Sentinel Chronicles?" series re-cap for the Atlanta based independent web series known by the same name will begin appearing on video web hosting sites such as youtube.com, facebook.com and myspace.com Saturday, September 19 2009. Each of this season's six episodes have an approximate run time from between 3 and 8 minutes.The episodes, as well as the trailers will be streamed in standard definition.
The remainder of the second season will begin appearing online starting on October 31st, 2009 and run through the end of January 2010 with the season finale. The second episode will premier November 6th, the third on November 26th and the fourth on December 21st. The fifth and final episode for this season will be released January 25th 2010.
The Sentinel Chronicles (or Sentinel 2.0 as it is being referred to as of late), is a umn, micro-studios/ANDtv* production. Is executive produced by the visionary genius of Lawrence R. Johnson and is the result of the crazed musings of writer/producer J.Welin and his staff of writers, actors and production personnel. Sentinel tells the story of cloning, assassination and warring factions in the mid 21st century. Its a dystopian look into consumer culture, technology and religion run rampant. Sentinel draws its inspirations from films such as Starship Troopers, Blade Runner and Children of Men, television shows like the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica and StargateG 1and the PlayStation game Killzone. The second season picks up with a plot line overview, detailing the assorted factions, corporate manipulation and unique experiments in social engineering. The season continues to unfold with origin episodes of its most brutal clone models Jonas and Cerino (played by Roger Herrera and Joe Hardy Jr.). In the fourth episode the season changes gears focusing on the individual perspective of one of its leading female characters Sgt. Dickerson. Dickerson (recently promoted to Commander played by veteran actress Josie Burgin Lawson) is presented in a faux news interview setting . The final episode starts with a recruiting commercial for the female dominated faction, the Northern Alliance and ends with a plot twist that the audience will not see coming. The majority of the season is told from the eyes of intrepid journalist Hannah Dixon (played by newcomer Madeline Brumby). Flashbacks, intense combat sequences, and personal reflection help to clear up the murky waters left behind from the first season. Unlike the first season, which was sparse in the production department Sentinel has added a modest army of production staff and writers to bring the story to life since its last season ended this past January. This installment includes the writing talent of Tom Drake and Chad Zemel who is also making his directorial debut with the project. The make up, props and onset special effects department is headed up by Delinda Bullington and rounded out by the superb talent of Nina Kyle. Additional production assistance and inspiration were provided by the dedication of associate producers Joe Hardy Jr., Skip Huffman, Josie Burgin Lawson, Landon Brown along with the first time director Sara Smith . Sentinel 2.0 is a unique experiment in the new genre of web based series. With most independently produced series on the internet being centered around infotainment and sitcoms the sci-fi genre is hopelessly under represented by independent community. Sentinel seeks to break the barrier of possibility by the indie no/low budget filmmakers in this new era of web based entertainment.

After he was honorably discharged he attended Indiana University switching majors twice and settling into a course discipline of journalism and philosophy. In the late 1990's and early 21st century he spent his time as a radical journalist covering violent anti-capitalist/globalization demonstrations across the planet. In 2002 and he moved to Atlanta and after a few years of disillusioned activism began pursuing a career in independent film/video media production. His first release entitled "Direct Action: the UGLF's Greatest Hits" was entered into the Lost Film Fest 2005.
