2014 Starts Off With A Bang

2014 is getting off to a great start here at The 7th Matrix, since the very first web series featured this year turns out to be one of the best.

Ragged Isle is described by co-creator Barry Dodd as a supernatural mystery inspired by genre classics such as Twin Peaks, Dark Shadows, and The X-Files.

I would have to whole-heartedly agree.

The Dark Heart of An Island

Ragged Isle is set in a tiny fishing community located on an island right off the coast of Maine.

One eventful summer, a young woman named Vicki Burke (Meghan Benton) arrives on the island to accept a job with the local newspaper - and reconnect with her twin brother who resides there.

However, the self-assured Vicki quickly finds herself smack in the middle of bizarre events that crack open the island's darkest and deadliest secret.

Soon after her arrival, citizens of the island start turning up dead.

The manner of their deaths? Drowning - on land, nowhere near the water, with their clothing completely dry.

As Vicki begins to piece together the truth behind the mysterious deaths, she and the residents of the island slowly begin to realize dark forces are at work.

Forces that may never let anyone leave Ragged Isle again.

An Impressive Showcase

Produced by local digital media company Entertainment Experiment, the project is filmed entirely on locations in the state of Maine.

You first notice you are watching something special from the moment the exquisite opening credits roll.

The producers use the gorgeous local scenery to full effect. You can almost smell the salt in the sea air.

In fact, the locale is another main character in the piece.
