Toronto’s Bite TV is looking for the next hit web series and has launched the Bite TV Comedy Web Series Competition.
“If you are a comedy creator, digital content developer, producer or just someone with a great idea we want to hear from you! This is your chance to get a development deal to produce a comedy web series pilot for Bite.ca.”
Up to 100 lucky people can upload a 5-minute video pitch for their comedy web series idea. Three finalists will be invited to pitch in person in May.
Your pitch should answer these questions:
- Who are you?
- Who is your audience?
- Have you already established an audience/fan base?
- Where did the idea come from?
- Why should Bite pick you?
The deadline is Monday, April 15, 2013. See Bite.ca for the application form.
My take: Here’s another example of the expanding mediascape. No longer are development deals only for movies and TV. If you’ve got a comedy thing happening, read the legal details and consider this.
