Manifesto Television

[Migrated post from myspace]

Well, it’s been awhile since we posted here. And there’s good reason for it.

See, we made a deal. A big deal kids. We sold the show!

Or so we thought…

We just went through months of negotiations with a startup known as Vision**. An ipTV network. But not just any old ipTV buzz. A ‘revolutionary’ system which included cell phone, satellite, DirecTV, and internet delivery. It sounded so good. It was ‘revolutionary’ after all. So ‘revolutionary’ that they ran out of money. Or so we suspect.

We had meetings on top of meetings. Contracts. Revisions. Show budgets. We talked about this and that. Format, other shows, bringing content to the networks. There wasn’t much we didn’t talk about.

And…..they shut down. They closed the offices. The channel owners are up in arms. We were mainly dealing with one group of channel owners, two partners and they were cool. They were honest with us and overall good to work with. But the network owners, Vision**, were liars and lets be honest, complete d*cks.

We have pretty much recoiled from the pain now. But it was very hard. Challenging and heartbreaking to say the least. We had our reservations with the operation being a startup but we had faith in the operation and it’s principals.

So we’re talking to new avenues now (we never stopped talking to the networks/prodcos we were already talking to) and we’ll be following up here once we heal a bit.
