Steven De Souza, writer of Hollywood blockbusters such as “48 Hours”, “Die Hard” and “Lara Croft Tomb Raider”, is trying his hand at directing for the Web. De Souza is in post on “Unknown Sender” which will be distributed via Strike TV, an internet start-up born out of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike earlier this year. The film is one of the networks first projects and stars Timothy Dalton of James Bond, 007 fame.
Strike TV is a content distribution site to keep an eye on. What differentiates it from all the other video spigots out there, is that many of Hollywood’s top creatives (i.e. De Sousa) fully support and are participating in the development of the company. What’s in it for them? Well, first and foremost is the artistic freedom the medium allows. Creative’s relish the fact they will be able to produce their work without the multitude of interferences which usually accompany studio and large network projects. It also can serve as a springboard to bring successful Web projects to other venues.
Strike TV’s Peter Hyoguchi was kind enough to give us a heads up on the “behind the scenes” for the project which was recently posted on vimeo.
