Web series
 

Are web series' eligible for pages? I flipped through The Confession last night, and I'd like to do a page on it.

Pros: It's obviously professionally done, with Kiefer Sutherland and John Hurt, with what appears to be real guns. And it ran on Hulu and is available on Netflix, so I believe it should meet the professional distribution requirement.

Cons: Each episode is only 5-7 minutes long, so the entire ten episode run is only 63 minutes combined, less than a feature.

I feel this would be similar to the ban on short films.

I was thinking the short film ban might cover that as well. But I think much of the reasoning behind the short film ban was to bar student films made on shoestring budgets, which this is clearly not.

I can't find anything to compare this to. I guess the closet thing would be Eagleheart, where each episode is 11-12 minutes, but it runs on Adult Swim.

Netflix strings all the episodes together seamlessly, so it feels more like a short feature.

I've got caps if anyone wants to review them.

Anything?

For the record, on Kiefer Sutherland's IMDb page, this is listed as a TV series.

There was a Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil webseries as sort of prequels to their new games that came out and each had real actors but not sure if they were using real guns.

I was going to check it out on Netflix. Seems like it would be an exception to the rule. Most shorts are going to be low budget with airsoft and cgi muzzle flashes.

A lot of movies uses toys sometimes but we put those in pages because they are supposed to represent guns

I scrutinized the scenes where the guns were fired to see if they were actually firing or if they were just using CGI muzzle flashes. Sutherland's P99 actually looks like it's blank adapted, and there's at least one scene where it's definitely cycling, and others where it's obvious he's reacting to a real muzzle flash.

But would it really matter if it was a real gun or a prop? We would still put it on the page.

Oh, absolutely. I'm just wondering if any of the admins had any objection to me making a page at all.

Like I said, it's a bit hard to classify. IMDb lists it as a TV series, but it feels more like a short feature that was just cut into ten segments. Unlike a more conventional series, with multiple writers and directors, there's just one writer and director.
