JamStar Media to Offer Sneak Preview of Online Series HUGE on Jaman.com
BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Sep 05, 2008 –JamStar Media, a production and distribution company of high-quality cross-platform content, has struck a deal to exclusively air the online pilot of HUGE worldwide on Jaman.com, a leading global community and online destination for quality entertainment. HUGE is a sexy webisode series set in New York's world of rock, fashion, partying and hustling. The pilot is now live exclusively on Jaman.com until December 5th and can be viewed at www.jaman.com/hugetheshow.
“Jaman is giving us the chance to bring HUGE to a worldwide audience, as well as build a fan base that will allow us to continue creating new episodes," said Ranjit Grewal, CCO of JamStar Media. "We are very excited to be working with a company that shares our viewpoint of marketing and distributing HUGE in an innovative and interactive manner.”
“This is a fun and creative opportunity for us to build upon our mission of helping independent film and television directors distribute and share their short and feature-length projects," said Jaman CEO and founder Gaurav Dhillon. "HUGE will play to an engaged community on Jaman that will actively support the filmmakers' vision and future endeavors.”
After a second sneak peek run at Blip.tv, the full series will premiere later this year at www.hugetheshow.com on JamStar Media's patented interactive platform JamStarTV, which allows viewers to experience the show at their own pace and learn about "tagged" items within the content such as clothes, shoes, jewelry, furniture, electronics, automobiles, and locations. Viewers will also be able to purchase, store or share tagged items, get background info on characters, download original songs and have a shared interactive viewing experience with friends via live web chat or blog. Syndication to Jaman.com, Blip.tv, MySpace, YouTube and others will quickly follow the initial release of the series. HUGE will also be packaged for domestic and foreign TV sale, as well as DVD sales.
HUGE follows Izzy (Alyssa Sutherland), a stunning and savvy 30-something model who can no longer compete with the younger fashion elite. Determined to turn a new leaf, she convinces a gritty, but gifted, rock band on the cusp of stardom that she's the right person to manage them. All she needs to do now is get the band to the gigs and meetings that will make them or break them -- provided that they don't break her or each other first. HUGE is directed by Malik Bader (Death of a President, Street Thief) and written by Daniel Janoff and Paul LeRoy.
