COPPERHEART: FLIGHT OF THE BLUE SILVER (NEW Series)

COPPERHEART: FLIGHT OF THE BLUE SILVER follows the crew of a small inter-dimensional vessel that can traverse time and space. They call it “Ripple Skipping,” and as far as they know, the Blue Silver is the only vessel that can do it. The crew of the Blue Silver includes Cardon Ashton, the gruff but pragmatic captain, a human; Beema, an alien-human hybrid with a brilliant head on her shoulders; EDN-6318 (“Enmity”), a Copperheart automaton and “brother” to Copperheart’s EDeN; Dr. Aggregate, a “quantum species” that transmorphs into random living forms. When “female,” they call themselves “Aggie,” when “male,” “Greg.” Throughout the series the crew ventures to various realities, finding items that are ordinary in one reality in order to sell them at a profit in realities where they’re rare. Flight of the Blue Silver (working title), a science fiction comedy, will air as it’s own series, an extension of tales beyond Shattered Echoes that WILL have ties with the previous incarnations of the show.

COPPERHEART: SHATTERED ECHOES (Anthology Series)

COPPERHEART: SHATTERED ECHOES is an anthology series of stories that take place after COPPERHEART, with some stories potentially overlapping existing and future stories. These episodes will have a wide range of subject matter, but every story will be geared toward an adult audience, with potential mature language and situations. Please keep that in mind as you audition. COPPERHEART: SHATTERED ECHOES is an audio drama that will distribute from copperheart.libsyn.com through Apple Podcasts / iTunes, Spotify, Castbox, YouTube (audio only), and most anywhere you find podcasts. The series will continue on the same podcast feed as the current COPPERHEART.
