UCB Comedy is expanding its reach even further than it already has with UCB Studios and UCB Digital. 9 new digital teams selected by UCB will develop and produce comedic content out of this 3,243 sq. ft. space in NYC.
From sketches to longer form projects, UCB will be able to do more things entirely in house, which should prove useful after partnering with Above Average and Nerdist.
We’re excited to see what they do with an entire studio.
Amazon Studios Looking For Short Films To Be Adapted Into Features
Moving on from their newly minted stable of original web series, Amazon Studios is already expanding on to features by, much in the same way they got their web series, accepting submissions of short films to be adapted into full length feature films.
They’re looking for something 2-15 min. long that can be the basis for an entire movie and offering $10,000 if your project is put in development.
We just thought it might be something some of you would be interested in.
Alpha House and Betas Get Greenlight at Amazon Studios
Congratulations to Alpha House and Betas both making it as Amazon Studios’ first original comedy series and being part of TV, and subsequently comedy, on the Internet forward. We’re glad that people will get to see more of Jon Daly on whatever screen their watching.
Still, we’re really shocked Those Who Can’t and The Onion News Empire didn’t make the cut or, hopefully, we’re just reacting prematurely.
