Watch Out Television ~ Zacuto Films Wins an Emmy!

Jens Bogehegn, Steve Weiss and Scott Lynch at the 2010 Emmy Awards.

Last year I petitioned The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences to create a category for web series. They still haven't done that but they did make a change this year in allowing web content to enter in any category, but knowing it has to compete with television. "FilmFellas" and "The Great Camera Shootout" were the only web shows nominated for Emmy's. But that glass ceiling is broken.

On November 6, 2010, The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences awarded Zacuto Films, creators of webisodic programming, an Emmy for "The Great Camera Shootout 2010" for Outstanding Achievement in a Program Series. Additionally, FilmFellas Cast 7: Masters of Non-Fiction, were among the 7 nominees.

Any one of us in the international indie film movement, can enter their work in the Emmy's so long as your programming format fits the category and competes with television programming head on. We all know that our community is doing ground breaking incredible work. Let's go kick television's ass and take their awards away! The moment we start doing this, television itself is going to come calling on the indie film movement. We can do this. Thank you for all your support and now it's going to get really exciting. ~ Steve
