Making of Browncoats: Redemption, a Firefly Fan Film

Joss Whedons Firefly and Serenity left a giant indelible mark in the wild west of modern science fiction, leaving rabid fans wanting more, much more. Rather than wait for Fox or NBC to come around and maybe give fans what they crave, some fans have taken it upon themselves to extend the Firefly story themselves. Browncoats: Redemption is not your typical fan flick. This one has a compelling story, a tight script, elaborate well lit sets, actors who know how to act, all shot on RED cameras and to top it all off, for charity! Well into principal production, Redemption is looking a lot like what die hard fans have been clamoring for. Joss Whedon has reportedly given the production his thumbs up, with some of his and Serenity/Firefly cast members charities standing to benefit.

Scott Stead, GETV Field Contributor in Washington, DC, visits the Redemption set during principal shooting and speaks with creators/producers Steven J. Fisher and Michael C. Dougherty as well as several of the films cast members.

@caged37 It will never be in stores. It's part of the reason they were able to make the film legally, and with the support of Joss, Nathan, Adam Baldwin (Who actually makes a cameo in it) It's not really for sale on their site either. It's assentually a gift, for the people who make a donation via their page. I strongly suggest any one to make the donation if for no other reason then that their causes are worthy selections for donation.

it seems like TOO much of a firefly knockoff I can't stand paying for things through the internet so i never saw it i don't even know if it's out yet but like the captain was TOO much of a Mal and that one asian guy was a TOTAL Simon even down to his rich sounding name all they're missing is a River when i watch a fan film, i wanna see something original and if you look they even brought in niska, fanty and mingo. it just feel like TOO much like firefly for them to not have the actual characters

I saw the trailer and I wasn't impressed. There was a general feel of smugness and self-awareness that plagues fan-made films and this unfortunately appears to be one of them. But to each their own.
