Pioneer One is a done-on-the-cheap Internet-only series going the crowd-sourced route. The pilot below was shot for only $6,000 (with a lot of donated effort), and they're raising funds to shoot the rest of the series. Indeed, they've already met their early goals and the series will continue shooting. Check out the pilot episode below, and then consider helping them out.
