US
media conglomerate The Disney-ABC Television Group has launched
Stage 9 Digital Media.
It
is focused on creating original short-form programming by merging
creativity with superior production quality. The studio's experimental
new media content premiered with the comedy series Squeegees in
a co-exclusive premiere on ABC.com and YouTube. The series' initial
run is sponsored by Toyota.
Disney-ABC
Television Group president Anne Sweeney says, "An integral
part of our overall digital strategy, Stage 9 was created to bridge
the gap between user-generated content and traditional production,
and is a perfect example of how we are continually looking at innovative
methods to develop, produce, market and distribute the high-quality
programming that consumers demand.

Barry
Jossen, an Oscar-winning short-form producer and studio executive,
has been tapped as GM of Stage 9. The studio has an active slate
of more than 20 programmes in comedy, drama, animation and reality
ranging from traditional linear episodic storytelling to fully immersive
interactive content geared toward the trend-setting the 18-34 demographic.
Working
with emerging talent from the online community, Stage 9 is squarely
focused on content creation, smartly distributing its programming
through top broadband video sites, online social networks, mobile,
and download services in order to maximise user accessibility and
exposure. Additionally, the studio will collaborate with the company's
Disney-ABC International Television on global digital distribution
of its content.
Jossen
says, "While the new media space is loaded with UGC, we feel
the audience is missing the quality experience found in other forms
of exhibition, and we are answering their need. This creative frontier
gives us the opportunity to develop new franchises, discover and
develop talent and, most importantly, expand the standard of excellence
set by our parent company in creating superior episodic programming
with great stories and production values."
Jossen,
who continues his role as ABC Studios EVP, overseeing production,
has produced both award-winning films and television series, and
received his Academy Award for the live action short film Dear Diary.
ABC
Studios president Mark Pedowitz, who has oversight of the new Stage
9 Digital Media Studio, says, "Digital media has levelled the
playing field, opening doors for anyone to have immediate and unlimited
access to an audience. But content must evolve with the platform.
Stage 9 gives us the freedom to experiment with creativity and innovation,
while pioneering state-of-the-art business models in this exciting
new market."
Jossen
adds, "We are so grateful about how this partnership has evolved.
From the very beginning, the folks at ABC.com, YouTube and Toyota
have collaborated to make Squeegees and its launch a special event
in this dynamic industry."
Youtube
head of premium content partnerships Jordan Hoffner says, "By
partnering with popular YouTube content creators, Stage 9 is developing
a new model that will change online video production as we know
it.
"To
have a storied company like Disney-ABC make new content for the
YouTube community is quite groundbreaking and reflective of their
unwavering imagination and YouTube's position as the home for quality
professional video."
The
studio's roll-out of new short-form programming will continue with
Voicemail 2, the second season of ABC.com's first original series
inspired by one man's decade-long collection of phone messages.
The never-seen-before humorous snippets capture an uncanny insight
into the life of a 20-something male slacker in pursuit of happiness...
with no responsibility.
Also
slated to debut is the original science fiction action thriller
Trenches from Shane Felux, the critically-acclaimed filmmaker and
creator of Pitching George Lucas and Star Wars Revelations. Set
in another time, on another planet Trenches begins in the waning
days of a gruelling war. A botched rescue attempt forces a young
soldier and his unit to team up with their enemy to survive a brutal
threat and escape the planet.
