A few years ago many indie creators professed web series would replace short films as the leading entree to a career in film and television, because series can attract fans. That hasn't happened, mostly because film festivals, despite recent interest in web TV, prefer shorts to series, and shorts still attract investors and distributors. This month Tj Misny bridges the divide at the Brooklyn Film Festival, where his series of three short films, Intimate Semaphores, screened last week to a sold out crowd. (It screens again Friday at 10:30Pm for all those interested.) Misny is best known as the director and photographer of some of New York's best indie television. He directed Broad City's second web finale, its most popular episode featuring Kristen Schaal and Amy Poehler, who went on to executive produce the critically lauded Comedy Central series. He directed the first season finale of I Hate Being Single,...

So far, online obits haven’t mentioned the cause of death. Lorring, one of the earliest surviving Oscar nominees in the acting categories, was 88. Directed by Irving Rapper, who had also handled one of Bette Davis’ biggest hits, the 1942 sudsy soap opera Now, Voyager, Warners’ The Corn Is Green was a decent if uninspired film version of Emlyn Williams’ semi-autobiographical 1938 hit play about an English schoolteacher,...

Interesting that these two projects were released around the same time. Earlier this week, we posted about Black Mad Men, a riff on the lack of diversity on AMC's hit drama Mad Men. From Morgan Evans and Phil Augusta Jackson, the project stars SNL's Sasheer Zamata. But as pointed out in the comments of that post, there's another Mad Men parody that's been in the works for a while. This one, called Mad Black Men, comes from graphic designer-turned-filmmaker Xavier Ruffin. The series is described as "a dramedy following three black ad workers as they weave through a racially insensitive 1960s world of advertising trying to keep their eyes on the...

If you're one of those who's been anxious for more "black representation" on AMC's hit TV drama series Mad Men, or if the idea of a "black version" of Mad Men tickles your fancy, maybe you'll dig this new web series. Maybe. Titled Black Mad Men, it comes from director Morgan Evans and writer Phil Augusta Jackson (both also produce), and stars one Sasheer Zamata (who recently joined the cast of Saturday Night Live, after much protest over that program's lack of black female representation). Joining Sasheer are Anthony Appruzzese, Shaun Diston, and Phil Augusta Jackson himself. The series' catchy tagline is: Advertising for black people, by black...

If seeing her play bit roles on Saturday Night Live just isn't enough for you (and it likely isn't), you can watch Sasheer Zamata in the first episode of Black Mad Men — a web series written by Key and Peele's Phil Augusta Jackson and directed by Morgan Evans. It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like: Zamata (as the Peggy Olson–inspired Peggyliqua Oldschool) and her team try to sell their hummus concept. What do they come up with? "It's an invitation. An invitation to get in bed with the opposite race." Sexy and toasted.

The "Teen Wolf" Season 3 episode "Riddled" was one of the most dramatic the MTV series has ever done. Beginning with the kidnapping of Stiles (Dylan O'Brien) and ending with the revelation that a nogitsune has totally taken control of the kid, "Riddled" is tense from beginning to end.
Fortunately, "Teen Wolf" star Tyler Posey is around to ease some of that tension. With that in mind, Posey has recreated several pivotal scenes from "Riddled" as Vine videos. They're a little different from the original version.
In the first Vine video, Posey plays the character of Stiles. The character of the bear trap is acted by "Teen Wolf After After Show" host Morgan Evans.
The second of the videos has Posey taking on the role of banshee Lydia. This time, however, the string makes a different sound.
Finally, Posey plays himself ... kind of. He really wants to find Stiles anyway.

A popular YouTube vlogging is turning his passion into a gig with MTV. Anthony Spears, who creates videos under the name Lohanthony, has been tapped as the host of the Teen Wolf After, After Show, a companion program for MTV's Teen Wolf. The first episode of Teen Wolf After, After Show responds to the debut episode of the second half of Teen Wolf's third season, which aired on January 6th. Spears and co-host Morgan Evans will discuss the events of the teen-oriented MTV hit that has previously spawned several other web companions. In many ways, Spears will do for Teen Wolf what Chris Hardwick has done for The Walking Dead through his Talking Dead TV companion. Spears, who is partnered with Fullscreen, is one of YouTube's youngest stars. He is just 14 years old but already has more than 830,000 subscribers on YouTube and more than a million followers on both Twitter and Instagram.

If you're an indie TV creator, you should know about the New York Television Festival. There are a lot of festivals for independent television, most of them for web series like LAWeb Fest, ITV Fest, and Holly Web Fest. But producers and executives widely consider Nytvf the best in quality.

If you’re an actor or director and not a star, it’s easy to feel invisible. Because you are. That’s probably why shows about out-of-work actors and creatives trying to “make it” in Hollywood are so common. While most of these shows aren't very good, some recent web shows have been exceptions to the rule. Uncensored and independent, they sharply satirize the horrors and challenges of working in media. They are preceded by great shows about Hollywood stardom from last year – including The Unititled Webseries Morgan Evans Is Doing and Jenifer Lewis and Shangela – and others satirizing the worlds of theater (Jack in a Box), art (Whole Day Down), fashion (Model Files), comics (Mythomania and The Variants), and music (Melody Set Me Free.)
