What we really want to know about is the scar on Bree’s back from the “Swimming” video.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. How did entertainment get lost in all of this?

Feels like 10 years, or more, have gone by. . .

Remember back when independent online video series held so much promise? Back when companies like VEOH were raising whack-loads of cash? When it looked like a new industry would arise, outside of the traditional Hollywood system (find any online video series now that isn’t a marketing tool for another medium?).

Sure, there’s more online video now than ever, but the promise that Brightcove et al offered (then abandoned, yet succeeded in another direction) for offering platforms for a new breed of filmed storytelling is sort of sad to reminisce about.

Today, everything’s an ad-unit, not a story.

It would be interesting to get perspectives of those from “back in the day” about why it didn’t evolve as many had hoped? I’d say it was a failure to understand distribution rights, international licensing, etc. I only remember one online series that also had a small broadcast window in a few regions. The Veoh’s and Brightcove’s needed to bring in film and television distribution personnel to create a sustainable industry…that wouldn’t devolve to being ad unit snippets.

I can’t believe it’s been 5 years! Fun fact: Bree’s actual birthday, October 26th, is my brother Graham’s real birthday.
