Hilarity, naturally, ensues.
But that wasnt the end of the saga.
My original concept was actually for a feature film.
Tahmohs following among theSupernaturalfan community was especially vocal about supporting the project.
Our social media campaign was hugely successful and within 6 months we had over 2 million hits on Youtube.
About a month before production began on the web series, Sienna Films came on board as executive producers.
Tell us about what it was like to work with such talent.
JW:Getting such amazing talent on board was the real secret to the success ofThe Portal.
There were three key factors that helped it work out.
The actors and their agents liked the script.
My producers are very charming and determined people and saying no to them is hard.
I have to say as a new director I learned a tonne from working with such talented veteran actors.
They have a real chemistry with each other and I think they both had a blast on set.
Do you have any fun (or funny) stories from set and the filming of the series?
JW:While we were filming the elevator sequence we accidentally broke the elevator.
The elevator doors were critical to the scene but they no longer worked.
We all know Clarkes dictum: that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Is that a theme well see you touching on and playing with in the series?
So, what is the future for the series?
But, he says with hope, only fan support will help us attain this goal.
