Cold. Hard. Cash. We love it when companies are willing to put their money where their mouths are.
Massachusetts-based web studio OurTVSpace is offering up $10,000 to a writer (or writing team) to develop a full 20-episode original web series as part of their New Media Fellow program. Entries for the program are being accepted through August 15th.
I spoke to OurTVSpace founder Doug Kirkpatrick from his office in Sturbridge, MA, who said he created the program as a way to bring top writing talent to the production team to develop their next web series.

It’s safe to say that this week’s web series picks are the only place that gives you a tasty mix of John McCain-loving sexy neo-cons with a side of spooky Massachusetts high school girls and topped-off with a creepy middle-aged New Jersey man. How do we even begin to pull a theme out of that? We can’t. But we watched them, laughed, were creeped out a little, and laughed a little more. So here they are – Oldbury Hill, The McCaingels and The Speed Creeper.
Oldbury Hill
The premise of this thriller from OurTVSpace and creator Doug Kirkpatrick is like 90210 in reverse—a high school senior moves from Beverly Hills to a small sleepy town in Massachusetts (fictional Oldbury Hill) and tries to fit in to her new life and new school all while trying to figure out a “centuries old dark secret that threatens to change the world.” There’s a pretty active fan site where cast, crew and fans are refreshingly chatty about what’s going on in the series. Episode 4 was just released yesterday.
