The entire entertainment world is changing. Technological advances and the subsequent dissolution of the customary distribution model have set this sector’s business grid into chaos. The music business was the first to react to this change and now the TV and Film world is following the same path.

This is bad news for Entertainment’s corporate establishment, but very good news for content creators. These corporations have vertically and horizontally consolidated to such an extent that now far less content is made for fewer outlets. At the same time, the bottom of the distribution pyramid has dropped out and the companies have, for the first time, lost their grip on distribution control. This dramatic shift creates a vast frontier within which content creators may control their own work. The content can now be made without the often stifling executive notes and changes requested of our work that have become the norm in corporate entertainment.

At FM78.tv we also recognize that ALL TV and Film distribution will be through the Internet exclusively in short order. We therefore see no sense in wasting time before getting high-quality professional content on-line. We have seen user content and we have seen professionals doing user content, but we are focused on bringing the high level of professional entertainment we have been doing our entire careers straight to the Net.

Our business model is simple: write the best possible scripts, rewrite them, then cast the best actors you can find, assemble the most talent crew available, pay union rates across the board, film the project, pay pointed attention in post production, do as much press as possible (both traditional and non-traditional) across all platforms for the launch, and then get it seen by as many viewers as possible. Basically, we do not believe in doing a lower level of work for the Internet than what we have always done in “Old Media”. We believe in working at this high-quality level no matter the distribution platform.
