Could be a cool opportunity

I saw on the Revver blog that there was going to be a new show on VH1 called Acceptable.tv that was going to “Together, the TV show and the Web site will create a community where the audience helps content creators make better, funnier, short-form TV by either voting for what professionally-produced contents airs, or by creating their own content for on-air consideration. The site will also serve as a forum and community for those who want to watch, make, and exchange ideas about how best to merge TV and the Web to create content that incorporates the best qualities of both traditional TV and the internet. Through profile pages, community tools like video-sharing and varying levels of “membership,” the site encourages the participation of dedicated audience members and dedicated content creators”

I figured that might be a good way to get more exposure for my story Angel's Destiny if I could get it on that show. I signed up and uploaded the 1st chapter.



They also had a bunch of cool video tutorials on the site.



That had Jack Black covering the film school 101 topics in an entertaining way



They covered a wide range of topics



From using sound effectively



To editing techniques



The basics of lighting



Creating a believeable illusion with props and special effects



Even handling rejection if your video doesn't make the cut



From what I've seen on the site so far a lot of people haven't paid enough attention to these, hopefully it will filter out in the process.
