I do believe in what Torrent Freak says:
“One of the main challenges that independent content producers face today is not piracy, but finding ways to to get their work noticed.”

Pioneer One is an ambitious project from Josh Bernhard and Bracey Smith who have collaborated before on ‘The Lionshare’, a BitTorrent-exclusive film which was released on VODO earlier this year. VODO is an online distribution platform which is able to reach millions of viewers through their relationships with existing BitTorrent communities.

Using a Kickstarter campaign to solicit the $6,000 budget for the pilot episode (over $7,000 was actually raised), the series will be further founded by donations from people that watch the pilot and are willing to donate money to see the series.

In the episode’s first day and a half online, about 84,000 downloads have occurred. and since the show’s premiere $1,000 a day has been donated to fund the next six installments.

In the pilot, what first looks like a terrorist act turns out to be a Cold War relic come back to haunt the present. We follow our main characters, a team of Homeland Security agents, as they discover the truth of what’s happened: a forgotten Soviet space mission has returned to Earth, and what it’s brought back will have implications for the entire world. It’s part political drama, part procedural drama, with a tinge of sci-fi. But beyond the initial catalyst, which is fiction, everything has its root in factual events.
