Animus Cross Launches Episode 2 Of Second Series
Audience Grows As Frontier Web Series Animus Cross Launches Episode 2 of Second Series. As Episode 2 of Animus Cross Series II: "Hell For The Company" goes live, parent company Steen House Entertainment has been surprised by the growth in the frontier web series' audience.
"When we launched Series I back in November 2008 we had a small but loyal audience," says series creator A. L. Steen. "Visits to animuscross.com grew a little when the word got out that we were in production on the second series... but no one was expecting the increase in viewers that came with the launch of the second series... visits to the web site have quadrupled – and that's not counting the views that we've gained on our YouTube and Vimeo channels."
Series star and associate producer Harold Phillips credits the audience growth to the series' mix of historical drama and supernatural adventure. "We've heard from viewers across the world - from the Ukraine, Japan, Germany, Japan... they absolutely love the supernatural mystery Amanda has set in the 1860's Idaho Territory. While the web series has grown quite a bit since the first series launched, there are still very few historical dramas – and we're one of the only series to mix the western and horror genres. It makes us stand out from the crowd!"
The second episode of Animus Cross Series II: "Hell For The Company" is currently running at animuscross.com. New episodes are posted on the last Wednesday of each month; they are posted to the popular video sharing sites YouTube and Vimeo the following Wednesday. Steen plans to go into production on the third series, "Myself Am Hell" in mid 2010.
