I've been casually following Jessica Stover (http://www.jessicastover.com/), the person behind Artemis Eternal (http://www.artemiseternal.com/), for a couple of years. From what I can tell, she's known what she's wanted to do from a young age and moved to LA to pursue those dreams. Finding that the traditional model of movie making and selling all artistic rights to a corporation did not suit her vision for what she wanted to make, she set out on her own.
I find that Jessica's smart and fairly savvy in the burgeoning new media landscape. It's not necessarily where her passions lie but she has been using it to cultivate a growing group of fans that support her work. I really dig the Artemis Eternal site. I'm not a big fan of Flash-only sites, but it's really well done. I dropped a few bucks in the paypal bucket to support the realization of Jessica's vision and plan to donate more in the future.
