3D News from 3D Focus

Wednesday, June 13, 2012


Hi, 

My name is Brittney Powell and I am one of the stars of Safety Geeks: SVI, 3D.  (That's me!)


I have two questions for you:

1) Can you watch a 3D Blu-ray?
2) Would you like to review our 3D absurdist comedy?

We are an indie production distributed by DDD/Yabazam, and as an indie, any press is extremely valuable as you might imagine.  So please let me know if you can watch our award-winning comedy about a team of inept safety experts who attempt to make the world safer, but cause havoc and destruction instead.  There is a press release below for your info.

I look forward to hearing from you so we can get you what you need to watch us!

Thanks so much!

xxx
Brittney

Independent Comedy SAFETY GEEKS: SVI Debuts on Blu-ray 3D


Los Angeles, Calif., May 22, 2012 – DDD Group (AIM: DDD), the 3D solutions company, has released Safety Geeks: SVI 3D on Blu-ray 3D™ through its Yabazam™ 3D content distribution label.  This award-winning live action 3D comedy goes on sale today in North America and will be available from Amazon and other online retailers.
Safety Geeks: SVI won “Best 3D Television Comedy” at the 2011 3D Film Festival in Los Angeles and has been a popular addition to Yabazam.com, DDD’s online 3D content portal, which delivers digital 3D programming to owners of 3D PC products and Smart TVs. 

Safety Geeks: SVI is the comic adventures of an elite force of safety experts; the P.O.S.H. (Professional Occupational Safety Hazard) team. Obsessed with making the world safer, the CSI-like team investigates accidents to find out what went wrong and who is to blame. P.O.S.H. provides an obscure, well-meaning service – unfortunately, they are a bunch of idiots.
The show was created and produced by Tom Konkle and Dave Beeler, who also share headlining roles with Xena: Warrior Princess alum, Brittney Powell. It was directed by Roger Tonry and 3D special effects were handled by Burbank-based Lumen Actus. 
“Safety Geeks is a fun, silly labor of love I created and act in with Dave,” said Tom Konkle. “It uses 3D to create a humorous world which allows viewers the benefit of the 3D technology they purchased.”
“We set out to make a world where anything could happen, fusing classic slapstick comedy with Monty Python, The Thunderbirds, CSI, The Saint and Twilight, without the Twilight bits,” said Dave Beeler.  “3D is a tool like music, color and pacing. So bringing in another tool, the z axis, literally gives you another dimension to play with. And because comedy, especially physical comedy, is all about spatial relationships, we were really excited to explore that with 3D.”
“With the latest market research showing that 65% of 3D TV owners want more 3D Blu-ray movies, distributing Safety Geeks on Blu-ray 3D allows us to reach owners of 3D televisions who may not already be accessing Yabazam content via our website or through the Yabazam 3D Smart TV app,” explained Jay Wiskerchen, DDD’s Vice President of Content Services.  “The team behind Safety Geeks has shown great enthusiasm and dedication in producing this award-winning 3D program and DDD looks forward to distributing more of their content to 3D TV, PC, and mobile users.”
The Safety Geeks: SVI 3D Blu-ray disc also contains special features, including filmmakers’ commentary, the making of, and a pin-up calendar slideshow and is available for purchase at Amazon.com/shops/Yabazam.
