Reality on Demand is an American science fiction-comedy web series, created by Marx Hernandez Pyle (Silence of the Belle, Book of Dallas). Pyle is also known as a cinematographer for Star Trek New Voyages and Fight Choreographer for Aidan 5.

Contents

Writer/Director Marx Hernandez Pyle had first announced the series on his column, The IndieNet and Beyond.

The online series premiered on Blip (website) on January 18, 2012. A second season is rumored to be in development, but no release date has been announced.

Pyle has been quoted as saying he was inspired to come up with web series pilots after interviewing Damian Kindler (Stargate SG-1, Sanctuary (TV series))...

"Reality On Demand was born after that interview. I wrote the outline to a TV pilot and plotted out a season arc. After returning to the United States and filming Silence of the Belle, I dusted off the paperwork and modified the story for a more modest budget. I quickly wrote the new one hour pilot and then broke it into smaller episodes for a web series," explained Pyle.

The series makes nods to many TV shows, including Supernatural, Grey's Anatomy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lost, Walking Dead, etc.

Series overview

Reality On Demand follows four strangers who playtest a highly advanced virtual reality game that puts them into their favorite TV shows and movies. But when they become trapped, a fun adventure takes a dangerous turn where cancellation means death.
