The creator and star of one of my fav-o-rite web series ever has launched a Kickstarter campaign for his latest creative effort. The Bannen Way's Mark Gantt's next project, The Night Visitor, is sci-fi-meets-horror-meets-thriller.

Starring Hollywood Heights' Brianne Davis (also an executive producer), Tara Buck (True Blood) and Vedette Lim (True Blood, Hollywood Heights), The Nigfht Visitor is already in post production. Jennifer Blanc-Biehn (Dark Angel) directed a script from The Marcus Brothers. 

The found footage-style digital feature is hoping to raise $12,500. Check out the trailer and additional video content for The Night Visitor after the jump!

Sony Pictures Television's Crackle just made my weekend get off to a hella good start. At the NewFronts, the online video network announced it is bringing back Mark Gantt and Jesse Warren's The Bannen Way for a second installment! READ MORE

Crackle.com's juggernaut web drama The Bannen Way is continuing to dominate the Internet content awards circuit. The addictive serial has been nominated for two Webby Awards, Best Drama and Best Editing. See, I told y'all this show was the bomb! Literally...lots of explosions in this one, I bet Vanessa Marcil thought she was on the set of Mobster General Hospital again playing sexy-as-hell supermodel/music exec, Brenda Barrett, as opposed to sexy-as-hell thief/Bannen bed buddy, Madison. Congrats to uber talented creators Mark Gantt (who also stars in the title role) and Jesse Warren. Now can someone put this show on network TV already? NBC oughta be on bended knees begging Sony for this show!

A major shout out to the peeps behind Crackle.com's game changing web series The Bannen Way. The sexy, serialized drama about Neil Bannen (Mark Gantt), a thief caught between the mob, the cops and a hard on, cleaned up at the 2nd Annual Streamy Awards Sunday night!

Kudos to Zach Arnold, who took home an award at yesterday's Streamys Craft Awards for Best Editing in a Web Series. Arnold netted the accolade for his work on the insanely hot, well-written, directed and acted Crackle.com web series The Bannen Way. This is no doubt the first of many Streamys Mark Gantt and Jesse Warren's breakthrough web serial— which costarred three of my fav-o-rite sudser alums, One Life to Live's Brynn Thayer, General Hospital's Vanessa Marcil and The O.C.'s Autumn Reeser— will take home this Streamys Weekend, as the soap opera for boys is nominated for seven awards!

From Crackle: 4: The Proposition

Okay, it is so not fair to compare The Bannen Way to any of the other web series we cover, considering the sleek, sexy serial got a $1 million investment from Sony, but a hella hot story doesn't cost much, and The Bannen Way definitely has one! Series creators Jesse Warren and Mark Gantt (who also stars as Neal Bannen, the coolest thief since Danny Ocean) definitely have a winner on their hands with this soap for guys about a thief who finds himself between the Mob and a hard place. General Hospital sex bomb Vanessa Marcil as the cunning Madison, certainly doesn't hurt the situation! Check out episodes 4-9 of The Bannen Way, then for more on the red hot series, visit my new favorite website for original, scripted content, Crackle.com! READ MORE
