(ST. LOUIS, MO) March 6, 2012 - Independent film company Day 304 Productions is developing a new web series to the world of steampunk. "Dirigible Days: Hierophant Unbound" will follow the crew of the airship S.S. Beatrix as they transport a shady lawman and his dangerous prisoner from the Cult of Cthulhu, who escapes and runs rampant on the ship.
"Dirigible Days: Hierophant Unbound" will consist of five 7-15 minute long episodes. The adventure takes place in an alternate reality nearly 1,000 years after a catastrophe transformed the surface of Earth and raised floating islands, launching a new age of exploration and colonization. The crew of the S.S. Beatrix includes comedic engineer Hooper, mute pilot Josie and gun-arm wearing captain Santiago Dunbar.
“All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king."
-- J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
