Additionally, an article about the film debuted this month in MicroFilmmaker Magazine, covering the pre-production process of releasing Forsaken and what it was like to be a part of the World of Depleted communal franchise.  A series of in-depth video interviews are also planned between MFM editor Jeremy Hanke and the filmmakers.

“Forsaken” slated for February 8th Submission…

It appears that the first of the films to be submitted for potential Canonization into the World of Depleted will be Four58 Productions’ Forsaken film.  Directed by Ben Nash & James de Hanika, Forsaken is an action tale that plans to weave some of the current elements of Depleted mythology into the visuals of their tale.  As directors Hanika and Nash of Four58 have been two of the filmmakers who’s enthusiasm and drive permitted him to get in on the beta version of the Contributor plan, we at Viking Productions are very excited.

Once we’ve had a chance to review it, we’ll be chatting with the directors about what the official release will be and where it might fit into the World of Depleted.

In the mean time, check out their HD trailer below:
