So there’s this comedian/actor out there named Nick Thune. You might have seen his bits before or maybe you caught his recent appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. He’s got a pretty decent stand up act where he plays the guitar, sings, and jokes about quirky things he’s observed in life. In some ways [...]
Time seems to stop as Todd Hesler, a New York Times photographer, snaps countless pictures of ordinary faces that dwell in New York City. The common becomes the extraordinary with the ease of story telling presented in One in 8 Million, a weekly web series about a diverse group of characters that survive and sometimes [...]
Prior to the big game, dozens of web stars and film celebs flocked the red carpet and it was indeed a sight to behold. Never did the words “exciting”, “creative” and “innovation” become unsaid in each passing moment during the event.
Parading through the red carpet and greeting the media were the stars and talents that created so much great content on the web for us to enjoy. All the familiar faces of film and web entertainment were there, celebrating the moment—from Felicia Day and Obama Girl…sorry, Amber Lee Ettinger to Neil Patrick Harris, Lisa Kudrow, Taryn Southern and Rosario Dawson, everybody was having a complete blast.
First off, the answer to your most important question is “Yes.” If you missed the live-stream of the First Annual Streamy Awards, or were one of the 1,200 or so people in attendance and want to re-live the experience, or caught the show online but can’t remember all the words to Felicia Day, the Sklar [...]
Where other people spend their time making videoblog shows, pop culture parodies, and three-minute sitcoms, Jeff Varga wants to bring something serious to the world of web television. It could be said that Jeff Varga has a vision for web television – and that vision involves fascist Australian zombies and hot women shooting the holy hell out of each other in Sin City-inspired noir streets.
In other words, that vision is Dead End City, and the fifteen-minute pilot episode is out for public consumption. Gary Graham of Alien Nation and Star Trek: Enterprise plays Murphy, a gritty hustler who spends his life dodging bullets and aiming at beautiful women. While avoiding some thugs at a local watering hole (“The Dragon Lady”), a chance encounter puts him in possession of a mysterious elephant figurine – and in the sights of Scarza (Matthew Nicolau), an Australian fascist with a fresh bullet hole in the forehead. Added to the mix are the beautiful ladies of The Dragon Lady: Brandy (Dani Lennon), Sally (Misty Madden), Tzu Ki (Trinh Tran), and Lin (Tally Hunkins), as well as the villainously delicious Zena (Mandy May), each of whom enters the fray for their own particular reasons. If it sounds like fun, that’s probably because it is – so go watch the pilot (above).
ON Networks has launched a second season of it’s web series City by City. Each five minute episode focuses on the highlights of a particular global city. Unlike the first season of the show which focused on Europe, this season will feature 12 episodes on Asian cities. So far, Japan and Seoul have been featured.
With City by City, Austin, Texas-based ON Networks has added another strong show to their growing list of original online series. The network features shows in a variety of different genres including sports, video games, most notably last fall’s Amy Poehler-created kids talk show Smart Girls at the Party and even an upcoming series on consciousness and creativity with surrealistic artist and filmmaker David Lynch. City by City is similar to ON Networks Beautiful Places in HD, except it doesn’t focus on natural beauty.
Crackle doesn’t like minorities. Just kidding! April Fools’, ya know? But really, every day is April Fools’ Day in the new original web series True Colors. The new American Attorney General Eric Holder recently remarked that the United States is “a nation of cowards” when it comes to race relations. With some evocative language, Mr. [...]
Enter True Colors, a new hidden camera show produced by Dwayne Smith (who you may remember as a lonelygirl15 writer) and Lisa Bohacek (one of the people responsible for inflicting The Simple Life on TV audiences) for Sony Pictures TV’s Crackle.com. True Colors takes the normal premise for a hidden camera show – filming people under duress in a public setting – and focuses on creating racially charged situations to, well, show a person’s true colors. Why do I feel like I’ve seen this on Chappelle’s Show before?
