Lilac 1

by Hank Isaac

I read somewhere that we’re supposedly entering the “Third Golden Age of Television.” Referring, of course, to the Internet’s ability to deliver up real-time (and other) programming to the potential global audience of more than eight-billion connected souls in 193 countries.

A great way to start, for me, was watching a talk with Dear White People director Justin Simien that was sponsored by Creative Live.

Justin started out as a publicist and worked for 8 years doing that at Paramount Pictures as well as a few other places in Hollywood. He actually specialized in online promo and social media campaigns. read article
