A Sneak Peek at FUTURESTATES: A New Online Fictional Series

What will become of America in five, 25, or even 50 years from today?

Beginning March 8, ITVS will launch a new online fictional series called FUTURESTATES, which will explore many of today’s complex social issues by imagining how they play out in the world of tomorrow.

The series will be accessible exclusively online and be available for free. ITVS worked with over 20 of today’s best and emerging indie filmmakers to complete the 11 films for the series. Contributors include acclaimed director Ramin Bahrani, whose mini-feature entitled Plastic Bag is narrated by the legendary Werner Herzog, Greg Pak’s Mister Green and Tze Chun’s Silver Sling.

Can’t wait until March 8? Watch the video preview below. Also be sure to join the brand new FUTURESTATES Facebook Fan Page to watch more video previews and to get the latest news on the series.

    I would like to see the entire series on the iTunes Store so the films can be time shifted, viewed more than once and links sent to other potential viewers. Note that content on the iTunes Store can be free or sold. Alternatively, Future States films could be made part of a downloadable PBS video podcast.
