It takes a million…
By Herb.“It” is Indy Mogul, one of our newest Next New Networks, which in the month of June accumulated over one million views from its “super-distributed” partners that range from Veoh, YouTube, and iTunes (among others) to visitors to the indymogul.com website. They watched Erik Beck create Zombies, fake gunshots, a variety of brains and other film trickery for the filmmaker with a bargain basement budget. Erik’s done it in record time for us at Next New Networks, joining his Next New cousins (same family, eh?) Channel Frederator and VOD Cars who have crossed the million mark many times over.
At Next New, we’re keeping tabs on the millionaire nets as an indication of a meaningful audience in (cable) TV and a marker for new teevee (we’re borrowing the term from Om Malik’s blog). Think of it as the “gold record” standard of our emerging TV/video world on the internet. Next we’re shooting for “platinum” status.
Thanks Erik, and all you Indy Moguls who are making your own films on You Tube, Veoh and other places, where the next generation of filmmakers are thriving.

@Erik…
I can print it out and mail it … on a sheet of transparency paper, so you can place it on a projector and shine it to the skies like batman’s call.
