Hey everyone,

I am an American expat in Madrid, Spain. I run an English language online magazine here and work in video production. We have a really cool WEB TV show related to travel curiosities hosted by a well known video blogger.

We have the pilot and are looking for some funding. Is anyone out there interested in checking it out? Please email me at business (at) mapmagazine.com.

Phil

PS: We are also about to shoot a European wine show pilot and perhaps an international beer show. If you are looking for fully-equipped American video journalists in Europe with awesome presenters, shoot me an email. You can also check out my video production Web site at www.themapagency.com

Viva WEB TV!

Many TV Stations just re-run old re-runs ans sell advertising spots – They won’t pay for better programs that people like, some produce cheap realit TV (BS) so it will backfire on them and give producers/writers to deliver directly to the people. It will only work if we all have superfast broadband networks at a reasonable price. If not, then the ISPs will kill it. Under the present system of free enterprise and economic models, there will always be someone who will want to milk it for all the money they can, and deliver as little as possible. They say ‘Greed is Good’ but only for a select few. (And their Bankster friends)
