SONA

Ashley Clements’ scifi miniseries SONA is excellent, but it creeped me right the hell out. 

If you are less high-strung than I am, which you probably are, and if you like scifi, please watch it!

Me, watching Ashley get all this praise and appreciation for her talent and hard work on the SONA series:

I really love that SONA is premiering on the same dates that Poe Party did two years ago. Watching a new SONA episode on the same day as a familiar Poe Party chapter perfectly emphasizes not only the wide range of amazingly wonderful stories that can be told through the beautiful medium of independent webseries, but more specifically the range of acting talent possessed by the overlapping actors. Lauren Lopez is, of course, incredible as the manly George Eliot, but is also incredible as the unambiguously feminine computer voice (she totally could have played H.G.’s microwave if she hadn’t broken down during the audition). 

And let’s just talk about Ashley Clements. Is there anything she can’t do? Every new project I see her in, I’m more impressed. I know she always jokes about Charlotte being the fan favorite, but seriously, I love Charlotte. I mean, yes, I love everyone in Poe Party, but Charlotte Brontë is one of my favorite villains in anything ever, and a big part of that is the way Ashley Clements plays her. The accent; the eye rolls; the contemptuous, disdainful line delivery; the creepy neck touching...she’s just so delightfully diabolical I can hardly stand it. And then there’s SONA, in which she’s giving one of the most convincing and heartbreaking portrayals of isolation, frustration, fear, and determination I’ve ever seen; amazing in and of itself, but even more so when you’ve just been re-watching her Poe Party performance of a character who couldn’t be more different. The third episode of SONA aired today, and if she didn’t make you cry, you’re either lying or you haven’t seen it yet. And as if her acting range weren’t impressive enough, bear in mind that Ashley Clements used her own apartment for the set (which, if I hadn’t seen video of her and Brendan Bradley building it, I probably wouldn’t believe because it REALLY looks like a space pod), and also created, wrote, and produced SONA. This human has SO. MUCH. TALENT.

Tl;dr You all should be watching SONA on Alpha (60 day free trial with the code SPACE), and if you haven’t already watched Poe Party on YouTube and/or FunnyOrDie, DO IT.

My thoughts on SONA

I JUST FINISHED EPISODE 1 OF SONA AND IT’S SO GOOD !!! (semi-coherent thoughts to follow)

Ashley’s acting is incredible as expected but I was actually surprised by how good the production quality was. I never would’ve guessed she made that in her apartment! Everything looked and sounded really high quality, I’m just so impressed and inspired by this already. (Bonus: Lauren Lopez did the voiceover for the computer, and she did a great job)

Seeing people make things like this inspires me to #dothethingmakethething, and I’m positive I’m not alone in that. So big thank you to Ashley for putting in the work and creating something cool for us to be obsessed with.

On that note, watch SONA here !!!

When Lieutenant Belyn Sona, a United Earth Space Corps officer, has to choose between her alien husband and her home planet, she has no option but betrayal. Trapped in an escape pod with no knowledge of her husband's whereabouts, Sona is forced to reckon with what truly matters, and what it takes to survive.

SONA is an eight-episode short form sci-fi series created by and starring Ashley Clements (The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Non-Transferable), filmed mostly on an escape pod set built in her own apartment.

Guys you have no idea how excited I am for SONA.
