Check out this cool web series. Creator John Herman was the force behind this project and has since produced a number of other videos. In addition to good writing and interesting characters, the series encouraged collaboration with its viewers, and the 16th episode was written by one of them. I hope there will be many future seasons of "Gravityland."
