Just back form L.A. and here’s what I learned. Quick background…I lived there years ago and after that up until my daughter was born I was going 3 to 4 times a year. I have not been back until this week in 3 years.

What’s the same: EVERYONE is looking for a terrific ROM-COM. If you can really pull one off -- you’re in like Flynn.

What’s different I sort of knew: Writers who were working in film who would have looked at you in horror (and wanted to physically assault you) if you brought up TV...are working in TV.

What’s different I didn’t know: The extent that writers are getting breaks with Major Studios co-creating original Internet programming. I don’t know what this means for the future of movies if anything…or if it even interests me, but people are working.

Cheers,
Martin

The whole internet thing is strange, but could be interesting!

I wonder if the internet content really will take off, like a lot of people are predicting. Is there any place out there that list what type of internet shows are being done or airing?

Hey Don:

That’s a great question. If it does not exist, someone could start a site that’s a TV guide to Web programming…though I would think that’s a HUGE job and getting bigger every day. This site has a giant guide (all though much of it is called Web TV). But there is a lot here:
http://www.webtvlist.com/pages/catalogs.asp?CatalogN=shows&webcasting

Here are some I happen to know about. Owned by Turner Broadcasting System…as noted on the bottom of the home-page:
http://www.superdeluxe.com/

The Jim Henson Company is developing shows for the Web. They are doing some of that in partnership with major film studios.
http://www.henson.com/index.php

I don’t have a link, but USA Today (Newspapers) is starting up and making deals to produce entertainment internet programming.

Cheers,
Martin
