Director of Munkysuperstar Pictures
1. What are some of the advantages of working on the Internet?
It's a lot less rigid. TV has restrictions on episode duration, where a commercial break has to occur, etc. Online you're free to do whatever you please. Content-wise you also have a lot more freedom as you don't have to abide by as strict standard regulations that TV broadcasters have to. Because everything is so new, there is no fixed style, template, or formula to follow. Anything goes and that's fun.
2. How do you see Internet TV growing as a platform?
I see it growing by a lot. Consumers are moving away from watching the TV screen and onto mobile devices. People want a style of content that is faster, has more variety, and is more authentic than what traditional TV offers.
3. How do you take censorship laws into consideration when developing content?
We don't do anything that touches on religion or politics. And we don't do anything illegal.
4. How does the government support your content?
We have no direct support from the government for our content in general, but we did a sponsored web dating series for the Social Development Network.
