Great piece from Wired about BAR KARMA - including quotes from Damon Lindelof of LOST:
Just four short months ago, a web programmer from Barberton, Ohio, named Jason Lee Holm had an idea for a TV show that sounds like something right out of a vintage episode of The Twilight Zone: What if a man, worried that his soon-to-be published book will cause a global meltdown, rectifies the problem by traveling to the future and hashing out the dilemma with a 20,000-year-old bartender?
Holm’s 22-scene outline of the concept found favor with a small online community of sci-fi fans and, as a result, the story arc will air this month in Current TV’s new series Bar Karma.
Conceptualized by The Sims creator Will Wright, the show is a ballsy experiment in crowdsourced entertainment that transforms storylines written by passionate non-professionals like Holm into 30-minute episodes produced by professional cast and crew members on a New Jersey soundstage.
