- Today Strike.tv launched its widely anticpated online hub of original HD quality video content from well known Hollywood creators today @ the Digital Hollywood Conference in Santa Monica, CA
- They are pushing live with over 40 original mini web series with talent including many actors, producers and directors from shows like ‘The Office’, ‘SNL’, ‘The Daily Show’, ‘Californication’ and more.
- BitGravity is powering the HD streaming and Episodic is providing the content delivery network.
- CEO Peter Hyoguchi tells tinyComb, “content creators will retain full rights over their material, and they will be rev sharing with them once they pick up some advertisers”
- They hope that this will become a launch pad for well known creators to try out new projects or distribute content that wouldn’t normally get picked up by a network.
- Interestingly enough, the content will not only be syndicated to YouTube (obvious choice), but they have worked out a deal with Joost. Hmmm.
- Amateur film makers will not be allowed as of yet, and even for professional creators there is still an internal voting process that goes into what will get distributed on the site.
- The concept and name of the project sparked during the Hollywood Strike this past year in hopes that a site like this would be a safe haven for content creators in dire times.
- Their series ‘Global Warming’ is pretty funny and includes some familiar Office and SNL characters.
A tiny exclusive.
