BIANCA: 2029 is an ultra-low independent web series directed and produced for development by David Quintana-Lujan during the summer of 2015 after a teaser trailer was released in 2014 during the Ghosties premiere. The entire web series was developed and filmed in Montgomery County, Texas. This series concept was fallout from the successful “Secret of Angelika5” web series that was quickly coming to a close. The director-producer wanted to start a more action packed series with more of an adult theme to every one of the new episodes planned for production. Transitioning to this new series meant that the studio would need to bring in a new cast and also require cross ever episodes with Angelika5.

Originally, Bianca Wolfe was created as a comic book character that Quintana-Lujan developed in the 1990’s under a graphic serried entitled, DEADLY FORCE; so bringing this character to life was a long time dream. The director-producer approached Kacey Kelley with the idea to produce an off-shoot series after the end of the fourth season of Angelika5, where Kelley was more than excited to extend the characters development, especially after she was introduced in the fourth season of the hit series. Kelley was given copies of the original Deadly Force graphic novel and also encouraged to openly share ideas for the character and began full time training to toughen her up for the role during the final weeks of shooting Angelika5. The director-producer sought out to find an investor-producer to help out with the running costs of the show and found Barbara Johnston more than ready to be part of the shows production effort.

In February 2015, Quintana-Lujan met Kelly Raymer at an independent films event in downtown Houston and admired the actors look and tall lanky build. He thought to himself, “this guy would make a really badass bad guy or a micromanaging dickhead,” which is where the idea of creating Mr. Williams was first established. Through a mutual contact, Darla Redwine [of Ghosties], Raymer had actually attended the Ghosties premiere [the year before] and wanted to work with the film’s director-producer on a new project, if the chance ever came up. Raymer was a respected comedic actor in the local Houston film scene and wanted to play a larger role in films, so when the director-producer first approached him about a new project, Raymer was ready to say, yes!

March 2015 brought the idea of Quintana-Lujan making changes to the first rough script for episode one. Where his previous works were more dramatic in the story telling, the director-producer began working on the dark comedic parts of a storyline where the “aliens on the run” might be more quirky in explaining that many of the authorized aliens don’t like the less intelligent aliens running around the planet making their race look bad. With the help from Kelley, the lead character would be portrayed as “tired of doing her job, but if no one else wants to step up to do it and get paid she might as well stick around.” This new philosophy in the character helped the script develop to an all new format in writing which the director-producer had never worked with, so several episodes were completed in only two weeks.

In May, Angelika5 wrapped up what would be the final season and the studio jumped to working on Bianca: 2029. Locations were set and Kelley was excited to get the project started. With only two weeks to prepare, the director-producer began to fill the rest of the cast. He found Jacob Hubbard working at a sandwich shop in the Woodlands, TX. He was fascinated with Hubbard’s facial features while he was telling tall tales or jokes with the local customers. Hubbard had no acting experience but was willing to try his best on camera; that was all Quintana-Lujan asked from him. Next he stumbled onto Katie Garza through the recommendation of Raymer who had met Garza on another indie production, and after a minor audition, she was brought on board to play Raymer’s partner. One actor who didn’t make the first episode due to having a stroke a few weeks prior to filming was Kevin Kretz, who was set to play Bianca’s alien Bail Bondsman who hires her to hunt down aliens.

Shooting of the first episode began in June on a hot day. The location for the first episode was filmed on Kelley’s fiancés home barn in Montgomery County, Texas. Most of the first scenes covered Raymer and Garza on camera, but the rest of the episode skipped to introducing Bianca Wolfe in all of her action packed and comedic splendor. The entire production took less than six hours to produce, and with the help of Kelley’s mother, Michelle Kelley, the production quickly moved from one scene to another. Unfortunately, at the completion of the production to the first episode, Kelley’s mother disclosed that she had terminal intestinal cancer but didn’t want to share the news until the first episode was complete. The episode was edited together in less than a day and two weeks later was released on the studio website as a teaser episode.

The first [and only] episode produced for the potential series was released to raving reviews by both the local indie film scene and at least five indie film critics. The episode received over 16,000 views in the first week after it was posted, most of the views were from overseas and many were centered by “instant fans” in Japan. After the studio website crashed and was lost, the series episode was posted on YouTube where it lost most of its momentum. The director-producer was so impressed by Kelley’s portrayal of Bianca and performance on film that to this day, no other actress has had the technical skill, ability, or commitment to play Bianca Wolfe on film.
