MTV announced they’ve created a new awards show that focuses on digital content – namely music and social media – coming to your computers sometime this Spring. Yes, this awards show is web-only with the intention of bringing the social conversation into the spotlight. It’s still in the development stages, so there aren’t any clear [...]

YouTube Takes Over The Guggenheim

Written by Peter. Posted on October 22, 2010. No comments.
I missed out on the YouTube Play live webcast last night (Giants game), but I’ve been going over some of the clips today and it looks like the event was pretty amazing. We’ve already started acknowledging the talents of creators on YouTube, but getting the Guggenheim involved kicks it up a major notch. I’d happily [...]

Vimeo Awards Resnap

This past weekend I attended the inaugural Vimeo Awards . As a bona fide video nerd, I have to say it was pretty cool.  Lots of camera geeks, filmmakers, plaid shirts, beards, plaid shirts, and booze.  Hightlights included the awards ceremony, which I was lucky enough to snag a ticket to, but was bummed [...]

Stop… drop… open up a film festival.  We haven’t heard enough about Damon aka Dame Dash’s Creative Control TV… how is that possible?  Dame typically bangs his self-promo drum pretty loudly.  CreativeControl.tv is his latest (as far as we know) spinoff post HOVA split.  It’s difficult to figure out exactly what it is, but it [...]

LOOSWORLD Presents… Noseferocktu

It’s actually happening… believe it.  Urgent Content famlay, Looseworld is putting on a pretty uniquely sick event in NYC.  They asked filmmakers to submit their work, and paired them with musicians to score the films and perform live.  Should be a fun event, with the Street Carnage dudes hosting, and apparently Das Racist performing?  Hmmm.  [...]

That’s right. Urgent’s founders (BG and myself) will be making an improbable NY appearance next Monday (the 15th) at Union Hall in Park Slope. The flyer below has the address and such, but basically, we just want to spend some quality time with you, have a drink, talk about some of our new projects and [...]
