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.

Two Cons in Two Weeks

The creators of Mind's Eye, Thomas Gofton and Tom Roper-Brown are gearing up for a back to back set of weekends as they travel the Canadian North to attend two conventions to promote the show.



The first convention, Ad Astra, which is held in Toronto is a literary convention that celebrates all things in literature. The creator team will go to celebrate the world of screenplays.

The second convention is called Sci-Fi on the Rock. Our co-creator Tom Roper-Brown, St. John, Newfoundland born writer will return home to see his family and friends! Join us Saturday at 2pm and/or Sunday at 4pm for a special panel on the show as well as some sneak previews!

Sci-Fi On The Rock is Newfoundland's premiere science fiction & fantasy convention. Our 5th Convention takes place on April 16th and 17th of 2011, and promises to be the biggest and best convention yet.

Sci-Fi On The Rock is a not for profit organization based in St. John's, Newfoundland. The Convention is for the fans, brought to you by fans. In order to keep bringing the fans the very best Science Fiction convention in Newfoundland, we need the support of the fans. Each year there is a Charity Auction that donates proceeds to Charity, as well as a silent auction for fund raising for the convention. This year we have also added a donate button to the menu of the web page as a way for the fans to help support the convention.

If you are in the area and are thinking of going to the con....come visit our booth or attend our panels!
