The.scene

The Scene is a miniseries about the warez scene created by Jun Group Entertainment. This first-of-its-kind film is targeted to P2P users, both in distribution, subject and style.

The series were financed through sponsorship deals and released for free on the web and on P2P networks under a Creative Commons license (attribution, no derivative works). Mitchell Reichgut, director of the series, says in an e-mail newsletter:

Another question that keeps coming up in our IRC channel and in forums around the web, is our rumored connection to SONY. As it happens, one of our producers has a day job there and Sony is infact one of our biggest sponsors.

The story centers on Drosan (Brian Sandro), a member of a fictitious pirate group called CPX . Drosan is forced by circumstances to sell the pre-release films to commercial pirates in Asia.

Each episode is filmed as a combination of a webcam video showing one of the actors superimposed on their desktop, showing e-mail, IRC and IM conversations. Most of the action takes place on the computer screen.
