Thanks All Around for the Indie Soap Awards

Craig Frank accepts his Indie Soap Award for Best Actor
It’s been a great week for us over here at the Compulsions camp. I’d like to lead off by thanking all of our friends and fans for the immense support for the wins. It was definitely very exciting on Monday night watching the Twitter and Facebook streams pop off in support of our winners as they were announced. Second, a big thanks goes off to We Love Soaps for putting together a great Inaugural Indie Soap Awards show and for doing a stellar job in raising awareness of Indie Dramatic content across the web. It’s also great to see an “awards season” start to unfold for the web space as a whole. Starting with the Clicker award, and now moving through the Indie Soap Awards and on to the Streamys and Webbys.
A great benefit to web content fans is that it gives us another outlet to discover content across the internet. It also proves how difficult it is to really be on top of what’s going on in WebTV. Going through the nomination process I had only heard of about half of the shows on the list, so even from my perspective it pushed me to sample several shows that were previously completely unknown to me.

Diversity in a Top Notch Cast
by Bernie Su on Jan.18, 2010, under Creators Blog
Happy Martin Luther King Day everyone.
Incidentally this day also is the last day for the public to submit their Streamy Nominations and in relation to both I’m reminded of our amazing and diverse cast.
Early in our casting process we as a team were adamant about having a racially diverse cast. Did we cast on race? No… we just wanted to be diverse to feel real. The real world isn’t predominantly one race, and as such our world in the show isn’t either.
One of the exciting results for our cast is how well they’ve come together as an ensemble. One of the most consistent complements we get for our series is in our performances. NewTeeVee said that we have ”some of the best acting in web series last year.” A praise that really goes out to the cast and our director Nathan Atkinson
If you’re reading this you’ve probably already seen our Season 1, so I’m sure you have your own opinions. If not please watch and see for yourself. – Watch Season 1
I encourage you to send some submissions votes for show and cast today for the Streamys. Don’t submit because I’m telling you to, submit/vote because you believe in the strength of the performances on screen.
