Break a Leg

Hey all!

So, I wrote a little article in my blog (a blogticle, if you will) where I may or may not have said some incendiary things. Small things. You know, about how like... the web series genre, as we know it, is dying.

You know, minor things.

And it's getting some attention and some great comments and discussion, so, without further ado, here's the opener:

The web series genre, as we know it, is dying.

There, I said it.

I know that The Guild just got an article written about it in the Wall Street Journal and I know I just announced that Break a Leg got a network deal — but, as a whole, the web series genre is laying in its hospital bed and watching its life ebb quietly away. It lays there and it remembers what once was — it remembers the fetal kicking of The Burg, it remembers the crowning head of Break a Leg, and it remembers the bursting forth of LonelyGirl15 out of its vagina.

...and you can read the rest here: www.yuribaranovsky.com

Pass it on!

Oh, and, for some quick Break a Leg news:

1. The DVDs are very close to release.

2. The network deal thing is going to be announced soon.

3. We're hopefully going to have full-length episodes up on Hulu!

Hurrah!
