Dark Prophet is written/created/directed and executive produced by Vargas and is a story that revolves around a gifted music student Dai Shepherd, who discovers top secrets hidden in the binary codes of songs, and then finds himself framed for his girlfriend’s murder. To find her killer and save civilization, Dai must stop Black Box, the rogue Intel agency that planted the secrets, from triggering the cyber-intelligence takeover of the planet.
“’Dark Prophet is a hybrid between a webseries and a TV series,” Vargas says. “I’ve basically created a one-hour TV pilot and a one full season of a webseries simultaneously. I’ve written it as a one-hour TV pilot and shot it as such. Each television act is my full-length webisode, but, then I further tailored each webisode for online, where short-form storytelling works best. Both the TV series and webseries can stand alone, or compliment each other. The TV series has is own unique twists and turns, as does the webseries.”
Season one consists of 12 episodes with a cast headed by Henry Rollins, Chase Fein and Rick Gonzalez. You can catch the episodes of the Dark Prophet series on Amazon Prime HERE.
Evette’s work includes series for MTV, Bravo, DirectTV; branded entertainment apps & games for Fast & Furious, the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Madonna. Dark Prophet was nominated for two Emmys and premiered at Sundance. There is a comic book version of the revolutionary multi-platform storytelling franchise, Dark Prophet “The Light Exposing Darkness,” which premiered at Comic-Con 2014 to rave reviews.
Evette was born in the Bronx and learned to tell stories at the dinner table with her family where the imagination ruled. She is a UCLA alumni of the Theater, Film and Television.
