Victory at Gen Con 2011

This past weekend, gamers of all stripes gathered in Indianapolis, Indiana for GenCon, the largest convention of its kind in North America. So what was the crew of MIND’S EYE doing there? Why picking up some hardware, of course.



The final four episodes of MIND’S EYE’s initial season were screened as part of the con’s film festival, along with several other submitted webseries, short films and features. At an awards ceremony on Sunday, the winners for each category were announced and MIND’S EYE came out the winner for Best Series. The prizes, as awarded by Troma Entertainment co-founder Lloyd Kaufman, included a trophy, a free exhibit booth at next year’s GenCon and a copy of Kaufman’s DVD Box Set Make Your Own Damn Movie!: Secrets of a Renegade Director.



But it wasn’t all awards at the show. The MIND’S EYE crew was working hard at the booth creating Instant FX, a unique service where fans could get a picture or video of themselves with a visual effect of their request. As well, MIND’S EYE producer/creator Thomas M. Gofton participated in a number of panels and the DREAMWEAVER role playing was play-tested once again for the attending gamers.

All-in-all, it was a solid weekend of fun and accomplishment for the MIND’S EYE team. Coming up next: a stop this weekend in “The Windy City” – Chicago – for the local Wizard World con. Then, we’ll be returning home for the National Fan Expo in Toronto at the end of the month. Keep your eyes peeled; MIND’S EYE may be coming soon to somewhere near you.

Screening at Gen Con

Film Festival Official Selection

Mind's Eye the Fantasy Series has been invited to screen as part of the festivities of Indianapolis' famous gaming convention, GEN CON.

Gen Con Indy is the original, longest running, best attended, gaming convention in the world. For over 41 years, Gen Con Indy has been setting the trend and breaking records. Last year, more than 100,698 turnstile and 30,000 unique attendees experienced Gen Con Indy. The biggest complaint we hear is that there is simply too much to do, see, and experience. Get lost in a phantasm of art exhibits. Stare at jaw-dropping costumes, or better yet, wear one of your own. Meet the movers and the shakers in the gaming industry. Check out the newest games and get a sneak peek at the latest editions.

And the best part about that description is that Mind's Eye is going to be there on the film track as part of the film festival. The creator and subsequent cast/crew will be in attendance on a panel during the weekend so don't be shy!

Podcast and Film Festival

Back before the show launched the creators of Mind's Eye the fantasy webseries journeyed across the lands to various Comic conventions to pre-promote the show. One of the adventures lead them to a great pod cast group called "Sci-fi Saturday Night". The host team of the show invited Thomas Gofton, creator and star of the show to come on and chat about what to expect from the up and coming release of Season One.



It was a great conversation and all involved had a fun time. Now, almost 6 months later, the folks of Sci-Fi Saturday Night have invited Thomas back for a recap of the first seasons launch as we approach the finale! Episode 24 - Forest for the trees. Tune in here to listen to the pod cast live on Saturday night, April 23rd at 8:00pm Eastern time.

Then, if you still haven't had enough Mind's Eye and you're interested in meeting the creators the show will exhibit several episodes live in a theater at the SharpCuts: Indie Music and Film Festival. The festival takes place in the show's home town and is expecting quite the homecoming. After, guests will be able to meet and greet with the creators and more. The location is the Synnema at 121 Wyndham Street N. Unit 106 in Guelph ON on Webseries Wednesday Night starting line up at 7pm.



Don't miss this one as well as other webseries from all over including the award winning "Out with Dad" and the L.A. great comedy "Night of the Zombie King".

Two great nights and two great Mind's Eye opportunities!
