Walking on Stage at the Streamys - photo by J.Regan Huston

It’s been a memorable week to say the least.  As much as I can say that I am thrilled for our Streamy Win I am not going to ignore the Streamys Ceremony debacle. My family was there, and it was good that I won, because I felt that really glossed over all the bad that was the ceremony itself for them. It left a bitter taste in my mouth after celebrating my finest moment as a writer (to date). I won an award where I was nominated against writers of several TV shows I deeply admire and my predecessors in my category are Jane Espenson and Ronald D Moore, two writers I hold as icons in my craft.  I remind myself that it wasn’t the Streamys or Tubefilter proper giving me the honor, it was from the voting body of the IAWTV who didn’t produce the Streamys, but instead determined the winners.

Despite the content of Compulsions and most of my stories, I generally like to remember the good things rather than the bad. So I will do my best to focus on that for this post. The Streamys, Web TV Week, and everything we as creators of online content do should be recognized, honored, celebrated, and for most of the week it really was. (continue reading…)

NewTeeVee names Compulsions as one of the 'Top 10 Professional Favorites from 2009'

Recently I’ve found out that we’ve made several notable Best of 09 Lists around the web. It’s quite an achievement to be even singled out as one of the top web shows of 09 on any list, but to make NewTeeVee’s Top 10 Professional Favorites from 2009 means a lot to us because especially given the amount of shows that they cover.

To be classified with the “professionally produced shows” (though I still feel we’re more indie as a whole) automatically put us up with some super high quality, well backed shows that have crossed over to today’s pop culture (Valemont, The Guild, and Auto Tune the News). Thus being in a “best of list” with shows like these is incredibly honoring and really helps to show how well our series has resonated with our audience. I personally love how Writer Liz Miller caught what our show was truly about with how she wrote that we focused “exclusively on exploring its internally twisted characters, brought to life by some of the best acting in web series last year.” (continue reading…)
