Digital Power
A ranking of the top 50 innovators leading Hollywood’s march online (Hollywood Reporter)
“37. Miles Beckett
CEO, EQAL
It’s tough enough to succeed once in online video, but Beckett has steered his production company to the impossible: two Internet megahits. The seminal “Lonelygirl15″ started it all, but then EQAL followed with “KateModern.” Now Beckett is taking his company to the next level, thanks to $5 million in funding from investors, including Netscape founder Marc Andreessen, and a first-look nonexclusive deal with CBS that will see EQAL collaborate with the network on digital extensions for existing series and maybe even some new projects. If Beckett & Co. can’t show an old dog new tricks, who can?”

Hey!
So I checked out the news at EQAL, and I saw that there is news about there being some sort of LG15 related Italian language online show. I mean, this is GREAT, and really exciting that LG15 is branching to other languages, but what does this mean story wise. How will people who speak Italian understand the storyline that has already unfolded, and how will English speaking people follow along with the Italian storyline…And will it even be “The Order” related? Who knows….
I’m excited though, and good luck with everything!!!
