Ben Bays of “Aidan 5” (GenCon-2013)
We sat down with the current “show runner” of the brilliant web-series Aidan 5 while we were at Indianapolis GenCon 2013.
“Produced locally in the heart of Columbus, Ohio and based on the award-winning 48-hr film festival short, Aidan 5 is a no-budget, sci-fi web series made solely with an all-volunteer cast & crew under pressured time restrictions. The goal: to create an ambitious series with creativity and determination as the only resources.
Set in the year 2064, Aidan 5 chronicles the journey of one detective who must unravel the mystery behind the serial killings of his own clones. This 16-episode living comic book is told through a unique style of film making and sketched art.”

Ben Browder (Starfest-2013)
Ben Browder is best known for his incredible portrayal of ‘John Crichton’ on Farscape. What started out as a modern day “Buck Rogers” story quickly became a entity all its own and garnered one of the most loyal fan bases known in any universe. After Farscape came to an end, he popped up in the last two seasons of another much loved sci-fi show, Stargate: SG1 as ‘Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell’. He reprised the role in two follow up made-for-TV movies. To many fans delight he even found his way into Doctor Who for an episode!Mr. Browder stopped by Denver Starfest 2013 and was kind enough to give up some time for a few interviews, including the one below! (There were some technical difficulties with one of the camera shots so this one looks a little one-sided, but the important half is intact.)
We talk about his first steps into sci-fi as a fan, the many facets of Farscape and the project that just can’t seem to get off the ground, Naught for Hire.

Michael Felsher or “Red Shirt Pictures” (Starfest-2013)
Denver Starfest can be a place to meet some very interesting people and 2013 was no exception.
Michael Felsher started Red Shirt Pictures in 2004. His company provides much of the special features you’ll find on those shiny DVD and Blurays, including The Monster Squad, Evil Dead 2, Lucio Fulci’s Zombie, several George A. Romero films and many others.This was an industry I had no idea existed and it was a lot of fun to sit down and learn more about Michael and Red Shirt Pictures.

Wizards of the Coast (GenCon-2012)
Floyd sat down with a media rep from Wizards of the Coast to discuss their newest campaign in the world of gaming, Dungeons and Dragons: Rise of the Underdark
This ended up being pretty short due to the general rule of recording at a convention, you WILL have issues with the recorder! Real shame too as Shelly was great to talk to and she and Floyd had a fantastic discussion.

John Noble (Starfest-2012)
John Noble’s portrayal of “Walter”, “Walter-nate” and the many versions thereof on Fox’s Fringe is what he may be best known for but he has also appeared in many films and on stage. He has also directed over 80 plays and can also be called upon as a voice coach. In short, he has done it all.
It was Fringe that first introduced me to Mr. Noble. Through the highs and lows of the series I have never come away in anything less than awe at the ability that this man has to pull me into the story whether it is to make me laugh, cry or any and every emotion in between.
To say I was just a little bit excited at the prospect of speaking with John Noble is maybe an understatement of the most extreme variety.I ask John about the decision to take on a regular series after so much stage and film, the evolution of the character of ‘Walter’ and even get to talk about the (unforgivable) lack of an Emmy nomination.
