Let’s Save the Web Series

rafimama:

These are the thoughts of Yuri Baranovsky — creator of the innovative, critically-acclaimed series BREAK A LEG.  I think to call the whole web series genre as ‘dying’ is a little dramatic, but he does give 4 pointed ideas to help the industry as a whole.

I think Yuri started Break a Leg way too early. He was a pioneer, and he deserves credit for this. But he’s bitter disappointed because he poured his life and soul into a project which was too early. It happens to the best of us. Others — many not nearly as talented or dedicated as him — are and will continue to find success where he didn’t.

In an ideal world Yuri would start an entirely new project today. He would take his lessons learned from the early years and apply them to today’s market. And he would find more success — in both traffic and revenue — than he imagined possible.
