Okay everyone, I’ve stayed pretty tight lipped about this for many reasons. Here’s what I can tell you for now, there is plenty that I need to keep to myself for a little while longer(sorry). Yes, we have been taping for the last few months, yes there have been discussions and interest with a major network, can’t mention the name, but I’m sure it’s not hard to figure out. We have some great stuff in the “can” as Bruce mentioned (thanks for coming out Bruce and Brent). I’ve been working on two angles for about two years now, the network side and the internet side. The whole idea for me pursuing this was to shine the light on what we all love to do. The network side is a very tricky business, you can have a great idea and there’s just no time slot for a new project, or they can have a time slot that needs to be filled and they’ll run with something that’s not that cool of an idea. It’s a lot of politics and a lot of hurry up and wait. I’ll keep working as hard as I can to promote this project and the industry. I’ll also do my best to keep everyone posted, but it’ll probably be a few months before anything concrete can be said on the network side.
As for the internet side, I’m working on a deal with a pod casting company that is run by some major media guys, like the past president of Nickelodeon TV, Execs from Spike, MTV etc… pretty big shooters. We are filming now and hopefully things will work out (looking good)and in the next couple of months we’ll be launching weekly pod casts that will be promoted all over the web (youtube, myspace,etc..). They’ve been averaging over a Million hits a week on most of their networks now. So we’ll all be getting out to a ton of people. If it all goes well we’ll want community involvement, not only hopefully with everyone watching, but also with as many people sending video clips, comments etc.. that will get put into the pod cast, the more hits we get the more they will promote. It’s really some pretty exciting stuff that they’re doing there.
That’s pretty much all I can say for now. I’ll keep trying my best to add demand for all of our living art! Feel free to e-mail me if you want to ask any other questions, I’ll do my best answer the ones I can, Brian (BHB)
