The Hollywood writers strike is on! Strap on your jet packs and hang on tight. It’s going to be a fast and bumpy ride for independent online producers.

Pull your best work out of your pocket and start producing it now. Don’t worry about crossing any picket lines because there aren’t any. There’s no union signatory main stream distribution corporations to negotiate with. We’ve already abandoned them and cut them out of the loop. So pull up your boots, put on your gloves, and launch your show directly to the audience.

Main stream entertainment is going to stumble big time like back in ’88. Remember the second season of Next Generation? Actually worse than the first filled with reject scripts and even one where Riker “remembers” other episodes. It’s going to be the same in the coming months, with one exception. Today there are many alternatives. DVDs, video games, and the interwebitubes. Step up and don’t miss out because when the writers come back they’re going to be all rested up and ready to kick some serious butt. (Next Generation season 3 anyone?) So let’s take advantage of this opportunity and shoot some adrenaline into this new online video medium. Let’s climb onboard the shiny Brave New Rocket and take it to the next level.
