Just had a very nice conversation with the CEO of this new Broadway streaming channel that's debuting on Monday, I think. Alet is involved with them and she'd put me in touch with this nice fellow. Turns out they all love Outside the Box and so I've just licensed the two seasons to them for three years. And Alet, who's in charge of the creative stuff, will talk to me about doing new episodes, although that's not quite a simple as it once was due to the SAG New Media contract changing - where once actors could do New Media for no money on the front end, they now have to be paid - $100 I think is the fee, but if on top of that you have to add pension and welfare and payroll taxes, which I'm not sure you have to, then it becomes undoable unless you have two people in every episode. Of course, I can use only a couple of SAG actors - that works, too. But we'll see how it does and if they want to produce new episodes that's up to them - I had season three ready to film six years ago or whenever we finished season two.
We're also talking about a few other things I own that they could license. I'm hoping this will turn into a fruitful relationship.
