Friday Rewind: Tubefilter News of the Week – December 5, 2008

If there’s one takeaway from this week it’s that the Web Television community—both in LA and around the world—is thriving. We hosted one of the best monthly Hollywood Web Television Meetups to date this week, headlined by Felicia Day, creator of The Guild and Cristian Cussen from MySpaceTV, bringing out hundreds of talented web creators and industry notables. Spotted at the Meetup was the team from After Judgment, the thriller sci-fi series we covered back in October, who announced a distribution deal with KoldCast TV. And speaking of KoldCast, we broke the news that they landed a deal with DVR service TiVo to send their growing lineup of web series into the living rooms of over 4 Million TiVo subscribers. And also at the Meetup were the YouTube star

creators The Fine Bros. who landed a deal themselves for a second season of their Lost Parodies series. (The pair also had a breakout viral hit this week with their 100 Movie Spoilers in 5 Minutes.)
