All due respect to Ben Brown, but fuck this.
When I was a little kid and would hang out at the playground and the older kids would show up and tell me to leave, I always left. I ran home scared. I hid in my room hoping those kids didn’t see which direction I ran because they might follow me and...

This is the award given by the Audio Publishers Association. We beat Jon Stewart, David Sedaris, and the Shit My Dad Says guy. Am I psyched? I am psyched. We produced this thing a year ago, in a recording studio in Brooklyn that this guy ran out of his apartment.
And not to take it TOO FAR or anything, but I’m an award-winning record producer. NBD.

Wooty toot INDEED. So excited to finally show off what everyone at blip’s been grinding away at for the last six months.
SIX MONTHS! I still remember, it was in October, the week after I was hired at blip, but before I actually started. I was in the LA office with Steve and Eric and they let me listen in on the Monday staff meeting. At the beginning of the call, Mike announced:...

Building the place to discover the best in original web series

Today we launched the new blip.tv destination site. The purpose of the new site is to give original web series a home on the Internet. That’s because, up until now, there hasn’t been a good site dedicated to the discovery of original web series.
Original web series are a product. They compete for...
Blip.tv is hiring a lot of new sales reps!
evangotlib:
Our business continues to move up-and-to-the-right. So much so that we need more sales reps to help us take blip.tv to the next level.
I am adding four sales reps to the blip.tv sales team. One in New York, one in Chicago, one in San Francisco and one in Los Angeles. We already have killer reps in these cities so you will be part of an existing team.
Here are each of the job...
Six months of work...

The team here at blip has been working like dogs for the last six months. All fifty of us. Can’t wait until we get to show people what we’ve been working on. Next week.
Fans of web series will not be let down. :)

Who the fuck are the Cages?” Nicolas Cage does indeed come from a very famous family. He’s part of the Coppola dynasty, but decided to use a stage name in an...

On May 5, 2005, I registered the domain name blip.tv for $35 on my personal credit card. At the time, I remember thinking “wow, that’s a lot for a domain name” and wondered if we were actually going to get anywhere with this whole web video thing.

Rules To Success in the Entertainment Industry
brianlerner:
Rule #3 - Be more lucky
Every year millions of people take part in desperate acts of moral compromise, duplicitousness, self-destruction and the occasional compromise of sexual preference all in an attempt to get ahead in the entertainment industry. The desire to win the admiration and envy of the masses leads to incredibly regretful behavior. To all of you hopefuls, I do not want...
