DivX Launches Online Film Festival
I like film festivals. I try to go to local ones when given the chance. For me, It gives some order and selection with the wide array of genres.
DivX today announced the launch of DivX Film Festival, an online film festival devoted to creativity, storytelling and improving digital media. It is being held online in Stage6, their online video sharing community. Deadline for entries is April 30.
Snowboarders get Snowvision
Diversion Media, publisher of broadband channels, announced the launch of Snowision, a video site for the snowboarding community.
Snowvision marks the second niche video site from Diversion, a New York-based company founded by Nicholas Butterworth, former CEO of MTV Interactive Group, and Tatum Lade, former head of technology at iFilm.
“Snowboarders are a tech savvy, demanding audience. We’re hoping to provide the community with a platform for all the great content that’s out there,” Butterworth said.
LisaNova Debuts on MADtv
By Minic Rivera
Over the weekend, Lisa Donovan, better known by YouTubers as LisaNova, made her network television debut on FOX’s MADtv.
If it wasn’t spectacular, neither was it a pratfall, and it might not have even been noticable as anything out of the ordinary had we not been so interested in the online star-crosses-the-chasm element of it all. In an interview with Lisa afterward, she acknowledged the fact that it was because of the video-sharing site that she is seeing some success and crossing over at mainstream entertainment. She is not, however, turning back on her YouTube roots.
“How could I leave the place that has given me so much,” Lisa said.
