L Studio Content Gets Nominated for a Webby!

Wow! Two of L Studio's series have been nominated for the same category of Best Writing in the Online Film & Video category! Web Therapy and Puppy Love will go head to head against each other for the title!

Since there are only 5 nominees and L Studio has 2 of 5... those odds are pretty good. The best part is, YOU can help us win.

Sign up for the People's Voice and cast your vote for Web Therapy or Puppy Love! (We do have some stiff competition with Prop 8 The Musical...which is why we need your help!)

YouTube flirting with Sony Pictures

See the original post of this story here.

YouTube’s quest for real Hollywood content continues. Ongoing talks with Sony Pictures could result in full-length streaming movies for the site — a big improvement over the watery content deal reached the other day for short-form content from Disney/ABC/ESPN.

Of course, Sony won’t be giving up its latest boxoffice hits.

Ford is giving each of them a Fiesta to drive around; recipients range from award-winning indie filmmakers, to single moms, to aspiring dancers, and even avid gamers, and they'll document their experiences with the car through YouTube vignettes, blog posts and other social media updates for six months. The kicker is that Ford will have no control over what they post, meaning the effort could ultimately end up tarnishing the brand almost a year before it hits U.S. dealerships.

But it's a risk Ford has to take?since it's in a fight (to the death?) to attract young, tech-savvy consumers that may have never thought about buying a domestic car before. The company believes that traditional marketing won't sway this demographic.
