With the influx of new web series what seems like every other day, the way to make your series stand out is finding a unique way to convey your story. Aidan 5 from Room 101 Productions has done just that. Produced by Ben Bays and John Jackson, the series is filmed with live actors against a fully hand-drawn, black and white environment. This is just one of several unique aspects of this sci-fi noir series, based on a winner of the 48 Hour Film Project Contest. Set in a futuristic world (2045) in “New Columbus”, Ohio, where cloning is legal and monitored by the government, Aidan 5 follows a detective, Aidan, who agrees to be cloned four times (the government-dictated limit) as a job requirement. This measure is taken because, as the pilot episode states, “a clone detective can get more done.”. The clones work 24-hours a day and are able to solve more cases.

                           Actress Jessica Cameron turned me on to this cool web series this weekend called Aidan 5. When you first watch these sneak peak episodes you'll see the influence from Sin City and that's really impressive for a web series. Aidan 5 is directed by John Jackson and Ben Bays and stars Bryan Michael Block, Maya Sayre and many others. This is the sneak peak weekend for this ground-breaking  living comic book web series so if you like what you see show your love and support! We will have much more on this cool project! Plot:  Set in a futuristic city, Aidan 5 chronicles the journey of one detective who must unravel the mystery behind the serial killings of his own clones.
