Help make History Hacker a real show!
By Tim.Who said videoblogging can’t make you a living? In 2006, good friend of Next New Networks and Indy Mogul guest star Bre Pettis was a high school art teacher and all around super guy I met at SXSW, one of a literal handful of us running around with video cameras that year. Two years later, he’s got a great new series pilot, History Hacker, debuting on the History Channel. As Bre says,
The folks at History gave the producer, director, and director of photography permission to take my DIY style of making videos with lots of jump cuts and direct talking to the camera and push it forward into a longer format. It doesn’t look like anything else on TV.
Watch it (or even better, DVR it) this September 26th at 8pm and midnight, and email the History Channel or post in the forums to help make Bre the first videoblogger to get a full TV series.
Go, Bre! This couldn’t happen for a more awesome guy.

he has tough me so much in 6 minute clips… it would be great to see what he can do with a bigger budget and more time!

The show was really great. I watched it again on DVR after seeing it @ Bre’s premier-watching party. Well shot and edited, with a great mix of content between trivia/background and DIY stuff like turning your bicycle into a generator.
Great Job, Bre & Company!
