Deep in a hidden forest rests a stone fountain of remarkable importance. Home to a creature revered and feared by all who know her name, this hallowed landmark will soon play host to the most significant conversation the ancient world of the Isles has ever known. MILA'S FOUNTAIN is an original, digital fantasy series which invites viewers to witness the chance encounter between the dangerous and immortal water spirit Mila and the mysterious wandering man who has stumbled upon her mystical fountain – an experience that will transform their lives, and the world around them, forever.
Set in a mythic past, MILA'S FOUNTAIN explores a realm where humans share existence with immortal deities of worship, where the magical and the natural still coalesce, and where a significant shift in the balance is about to spread across the land. A vivd tale of adventure, memory, and loss, the quest to discover the true significance of Mila's sacred waters begins in 2012.
Created by Nils Sorensen and produced by Leanne Schinkel, the first season of MILA’S FOUNTAIN consists of eleven episodes produced in Saskatchewan and British Columbia, Canada and will be released online.

I'll open the very first production blog for MILA'S FOUNTAIN having just recently returned from camera and lighting tests at our stunning, secret location in interior British Columbia. Our scouting team spent five days traversing the majesty of the Creston Valley in British Columbia, Canada - prime landscape for epic fantasy!

I'll open the very first production blog for MILA'S FOUNTAIN having just recently returned from camera and lighting tests at our stunning, secret location in interior British Columbia. Our scouting team, made up of director Nils Sorensen, producer Leanne Schinkel, director of photography Preston Kanak (3MinuteShorts.ca and assistant editor at PhilipBloom.net), and still photographer Rene Prefontaine (RenePrefontaine.com) spent five days traversing the majesty of the Creston Valley in British Columbia, Canada - prime landscape for epic fantasy!
In fact, upon discovering the location and surrounding area one year ago we were immediately inspired to delve deeper into our core story and expand our characters’ time onscreen, eventually elevating the project from its humble beginning as a short film into the 11-part digital series it is today. As a project set in a fantasy world apart from (but inspired by) our own, the decision to utilize an emerging narrative web format was not lightly made, but the full journey of Mila and the Wanderer, previously only in ruffled notes about backstory, has been committed to script as a result.
While shooting we utilized some Kessler gear (CineSlider and Crane), a Glidecam HD-4000, and a hell of a lot of bug spray. Having shot for numerous nights, it was a treat to finally see the fruits of our imagination laid out before our eyes. We will be releasing a teaser trailer in the coming months, but for now… here is the first official peak at Mila’s hallowed fountain.
We also traveled to Toronto recently to showcase the series at Fan Expo Canada 2011 and begin to spread the word with fellow fantasy fans and creators alike. We gave away some shirts, met some great people, and had a sneak peak of our teaser footage playing. One excited spectator summed up our own feelings quite nicely when she commented, "I've never seen a web series like this before!" We couldn't agree more. This is just the beginning.
