Safety Geeks: SVI is the comic adventures of an elite force of safety experts; the P.O.S.H. (Professional Occupational Safety Hazard) team. Obsessed with making the world safer, the CSI-like team investigates accidents to find out what went wrong and who is to blame. P.O.S.H. provides an obscure, well-meaning service - unfortunately, they are a bunch of idiots. The world of P.O.S.H. is very unsafe... largely due to them. This is the hour-long comedy episode of Safety Geeks: SVI which recently won "Best 3D Television Comedy Series" at the 3D Film Festival In Los Angeles.

The Safety Geeks show can be ordered on TIVO under the 3D Fun Category of CASPA On-Demand.

Also, the show episodes are available for worldwide 3D VOD to your computer at the Yabazam online store here at store.yabazam.com/Safety_Geeks_SVI_Season_1_p/dc115100.htm.

The 1st Annual 3D Film Festival was presented by RealD and The Los Angeles Film School, is produced by 3D live event pioneer The Dream Factory at the Los Angeles Film School and their new RealD 3D-enabled screening room.

“Safety Geeks: 3D” is the first 3D live action comedy web series which was released for viewing in 3D on computers, televisions, and Blu-ray Disc products. Produced by Dave Beeler and Tom Konkle, the award winning “Safety Geeks” web series has received other accolades and nominations for their creative content and special effects from the Streamy Awards, LA Web Series Festival, Stay Tuned TV and more.

Tom Konkle “Safety Geeks” writer and star added, "It was a real team effort with the creative and technical sides all coming together. "

“Safety Geeks: 3D” is presented in stereoscopic 3D and is available as streaming video on the web, as part of the 3D media TriDef player, as video on-demand (VOD), and also as traditional media on next generation 3D televisions, computers, and hand held devices.

“We are thrilled to be providing the first 3D video on-demand content over CASPA to all our New Zealand TiVo customers. We are extremely proud that our very first offering is a diverse range of 3D content which allows TiVo customers in New Zealand with 3D TVs, to get a real taste of 3D entertainment.

“It’s been a mammoth year for 3D – even bigger for CASPA customers with a 3D TV! Gone are the days of driving to the video store and paying late fees, CASPA delivers quality entertainment direct to your living room, giving you the freedom to watch what you want from the comfort of your lounge. With the ever- growing CASPA content offering, open to all TiVo customers regardless of their Internet provider, there is every reason to get a TiVo,” said Robbee Minicola, Chief Executive, Hybrid TV.

Konkle, who also stars with Beeler, concludes, “Because our show appeals to a Monty Python and Adult Swim sense of humor, it is a great match because the 'geek' audience that enjoys this kind of comedy most readily consumes the new technologies as they come onto the marketplace and they have the financial resources to acquire to enjoy all the various new emerging 3D platforms.”

Having often joked about how Dave Beeler and Tom Konkle use technology in the service of comedy instead of action or science fiction, it seemed only appropriate that the way Safety Geeks season one was shot made it the perfect first candidate for 3D technology.

Safety Geeks: 3D was created in 3D from Lumen Actus, a Burbank, CA based visual effects company. Pith-e Productions is currently developing a second season of Safety Geeks with star attachments in guest roles and four new series for 2D and 3D media platforms.
