I don’t think I’ve ever talked about the Internet video anthology series, Stranger Things on this blog — let’s fix that.

First, let’s get out of the way the fact that creator and executive producer Earl Newton is a friend of mine. When I first heard of Stranger Things and watched the first episodes, I had no idea who he was. Only later would I come to learn he’s some kind of strange genetic sport, gifted with more energy, ambition, talent, and intelligence than anyone in their twenties should have. I may be his elder, but I’ve learned a lot about writing and creativity by observing his work.

Stranger Things is the first dramatic science-fiction anthology series shot in high definition and digitally-syndicated through the Internet. This is HD, better-than-broadcast quality stuff, and not just in the audiovisual sense. The writing is excellent, the acting solid, and they get the most out of what I’m assuming is (for now, it’s hoped) a minuscule budget.

I want Stranger Things to explode across all media. Earl and his crew are doing amazing work; I can’t think of a higher quality example of what the DIY ethic can produce. I rarely beg for Diggs and Stumbles for my own stuff, but I’m asking you to share this post — tell at least one other person about Stranger Things, and you will help raise awareness and raise the bar for independent media.

Here are a couple trailers:
