HOW TO GET FAMOUS: DO-IT-YOURSELF WEB SERIES!
Q: How to get famous?
A: Start by making a one-minute preview of your idea. Then, you upload it to places like youTube.
Two weeks ago, no one had ever heard of "Knockers the Series" when the first trailer was posted on the youTube website.
The only information available described the one-minute+ video clip as "Knockers the Series coming soon" but fans immediately started downloading it and rating it.
Two weeks later, the show (produced by Good Neighbor) has had 148,031 views (an average of a little over 10,000 hits a day) and it's been well-rated...Well-rated enough for youTube to start featuring it on your Google home page...and now the hits will start coming faster...
Good Neighbor is a Los Angeles based sketch comedy group comprised of writers/performers Beck Bennett, Kyle Mooney, Nick Rutherford, and filmmaker Dave McCary. Their blurb says, "We enjoy making music, pictures, spaghetti, and friends. Web videos and live sketch shows have been a big part of us over the last few months, but there's much larger projects in our future.
We're talkin' like hundreds of dollars type of stuff."
And so, it appears that KNOCKERS THE SERIES might just be going big time-really big time!
We wish Good Neighbor well and hope its new series is a hit.
And this, is how aspiring filmmakers get started, have their fifteen minutes of fame and maybe go on to achieve greatness and find a worldwide audience of dedicated fans!
