Our old buddy Kelvington is a master of the mashup, a phenomenon of the fan-edit, and he's been a great friend to our site, as well (And he did the album cover art for my brother's band recently as well). Some of you may recall that we interviewed him a while back
( http://www.republibot.com/content/fan-film-friday-we-interview-kelvington ) and, as always, his projects are interesting and fun to behold.

The Mercury Men is an impressive little web series. It's also the first that I've reviewed that's been featured on Syfy.

That's Syfy.com not the channel, unfortunately. Join me after the jump for my review.

Today we're talking with Ben Dobyns, who has over a decade's experience working on films. He was a co-founder and Director of Development of Dead Gentlemen Productions, which produced fan favorites The Gamers and Dorkness Rising. Two years ago he co-founded Zombie Orpheus Entertainment (ZOE,) which produced JourneyQuest. He's also worked on larger budget productions, serving as an assistant director on The Dark Horse and Battle in Seattle.

Just before I took over the Fan Film beat here, R3 posted an invitation for readers: Tell Us About Your Failures. It's an interesting subject, since so many projects fail for a variety of reasons.

In the comments, our own Jake Was Here posted a link to his student film 270 Days in the Bunker. However, I'd rate it a success. Take a look, and then join me after the jump for an interview with Jake.
