"Get A Clue" Launch!
We launched "Get A Clue" last Monday, which is why I haven't blogged since then. I needed to mentally recover after the epic event of launching the premiere episode of "Get A Clue". You might think we had a party, celebrated with champagne, ordered high end prostitutes, etc. -- and you would sort of be right:
This is Peter at about 5pm on Sunday. After we had tried and failed to upload the first episode 6 times. Our editing team had improperly compressed the episode files to a GIANT size. So it would take 2 hours for Episode 1 to upload. And then it would say "Error. Upload Failed". Because the internet hated us.
How many computers does it take to launch "Get A Clue"? As you can see, our launch party is very very glamorous!
But oh now, we're happy again for a moment! I'm not sure what I was happy about. I think the upload to YouTube finally worked. Our website, however, was still not working. Because the internet hates us. Still.
4am. I was still busy working. Peter is so lazy.
So as you can see, it was a non stop party of sex and drugs and glamor. Because that's why we decided to write a web series in the first place. The glamor. ;-)

Carpel Tunnel
My right hand hurts. Why? Because when it's not busy teaching 2 year olds how to tap dance (my glamorous day job), it's firmly attached to my mouse. Clicking and commenting on viral video after video after video.
When we started thinking about marketing "Get A Clue", Peter & I decided to get some solid advice from people who know things. Things about the interweb & web series. We talked to the great guys over at Big Fantastic (Prom Queen, Sorority Forever), who told us to get busy and start telling everyone we know about the show. I e-mailed the writers/producers of the fabulous web series "We Need Girlfriends" (which was picked up by CBS a few months ago), and they were so kind to send me back a reply answering all of my many many questions. They told me to harass people -- just keep sending out e-mail after e-mail begging people to watch the show & get as many online friends as you can. Then I talked to a a friend of a friend who works over at Funny or Die. She told me to get active in the communities that we wanted "Get A Clue" to thrive on. Friend people, watch videos, comment on videos, etc. "Become an internet junkie," she said.
And so I have. On behalf of "Get A Clue" I'm constantly on Funny or Die, YouTube, & MySpaceTV commenting on videos & requesting friends like it's my job. Which I kind of wish it was. Well, I wish I was getting paid for it but I'd never want to actually have a job like this. I didn't think it was possible, but I've completely overdosed on web content. If I see one more Sarah Palin spoof or wacky cat video or overly tricked out MySpace profile I am going to kill myself. But my last words will still be (typed of course), "Get a clue & subscribe to us!" (dying gasp)

Thank you IMDB Help Desk
I tried submitting "Get A Clue" to IMDb & this is the message that I got back last night:
"This is a specific message about your recent new title submission to IMDb as
indicated in the subject.
NOTE FROM IMDb TITLE EDITORS:
-----------------------------
Online-only requires significant national mainstream press coverage or very
substantial, independently verifiable viewership."
This wasn't a surprising e-mail. I kind of expected it. But I will say this: there are titles and credits on IMDb that I know to be student films from back in my college days. Maybe these student films went to a few film festivals & became short films, I don't know. I'm not saying that those titles don't deserve to be on IMDb. But "Get A Clue" is, essentially, a 30 minute film broken up into 3 minute increments. It was an original screenplay, shot with an experienced crew & professional actors. Basically, if we put all the "Get A Clue" episodes together & released it as a short film we would have more chance of getting it on IMDb.
Food for thought in this ever changing world of online media...

Jack Stone's Bio!
You can thank Peter Berube for this one...;-)
Jack Stone was born on the couch of his mother’s one bedroom apartment in downtown Los Angeles. Jack’s father, a known member of the Irish mafia, was Daniel “Dynamite” Stone. After years of shady living, Dynamite Stone’s criminal ways finally caught up with him and he was arrested for racketeering by the LAPD’s star detective, John Eugene Rockette. Jack was forced to move in with his girlfriend Erin Cohen, a successful tradeshow spokes-model.
The two split a year later when Erin left Jack after a long, lengthy, & very obvious affair. Jack vowed on that day to never let anything go unnoticed. He looked back on the amazing John Eugene Rockette’s capturing of his family with great fondness. He knew the only way he would never be left in the dark again was to become the world’s best detective. After all, his incredible insight into the criminal world would give him an unrivaled edge in the detective world.
Jack enrolled in the Los Angeles Detective Academy to pursue his new dream. However, despite Jack’s incredible detective sense, he was released from the program due to poor classroom grades. Jack blames his hard partying roommate, now known as LAPD’s Detective Fluffkins, for ruining his chance of becoming a detective.
Failing out of the Detective Academy was a hard cross for Jack to bear. He took various low level jobs, always spending his paychecks on alcohol. Things seemed to change when Jack met Lindy Langley, a spritely young girl with inheritance money and a dream. Jack joined Lindy and formed the “Get A Clue Detective Agency”. This may finally be his chance to be a great detective, but Jack’s not counting on it.
