WB-Produced 'On Set, On Edge' to Air Exclusively on Film.com and
SuperPass.com
SEATTLE, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Warner Bros. Digital
Distribution, and digital entertainment services company, RealNetworks(R),
Inc. (Nasdaq: RNWK), today announced the premiere of "On Set, On Edge," an
original online reality series that follows the hectic real life of
filmmaker Vanessa Parise as she creates her second movie, "Jack and Jill
vs. The World," starring Freddie Prinze Jr. and Taryn Manning.
"On Set, On Edge" provides a behind-the-scenes look at independent
director Parise managing the chaos of development and production as she
brings her vision to life and prepares the film for its hopeful festival
premiere and distribution. The first three episodes of this 20-episode
reality series are available now, exclusively on http://www.film.com. Subscribers
of Real's SuperPass service can immediately access the first five episodes
of the series, as well as video diaries and behind-the-scenes featurettes.
Two new episodes will premiere each week on SuperPass.com.
This tightly integrated online component to the film will give viewers
unique access to the process of creating a film including community chat
and video blogs. Five minute episodes will focus on film development, cast
and crew personalities, and conflicts that arise during the production
process. The on-demand videos give users a voyeuristic look into locations
such as the makeup room, catering tables, grip truck, camera truck and the
director's trailer.
"On Set, On Edge" represents a one-of-a-kind online extension to
traditional film production and distribution that creates heightened
awareness, anticipation and a sense of community," said Josh Rinsky,
manager of sales development, Warner Bros. Digital Distribution. "We are
thrilled to be working together with RealNetworks to deliver a completely
fresh, dynamic series for the Internet."
The series is launching September 10 on http://www.film.com and the SuperPass
subscription service. SuperPass subscribers also have instant access to
downloadable casual games, movie and television programming, downloadable
music and ad-free radio, and featured content like live video feeds into
the CBS Big Brother 8 house. A free preview of the series featuring the
first three episodes is immediately available at http://www.film.com/onset. A blog
following the show and providing commentary will also be regularly updated
on film.com.
"With WB co-producing this reality program, viewers can be a fly on the
wall in the filmmaker's ongoing struggles to balance the chaos of creating
a compelling independent film with the demands of her personal life," said
Elizabeth Coppinger, vice president of video services at RealNetworks. "The
addition of the "On Set On Edge" programming broadens and strengthens our
reach to the independent film audience, which is already supported by our
participation in the Sundance and Seattle International film festivals, and
with our exclusive selection of classic independent film titles only
available to SuperPass subscribers."
Parise's first film "Kiss The Bride" was released by MGM in 2002.
Starring Amanda Detmer, Sean Patrick Flanery, Brooke Langton, Monet Mazur
and Alyssa Milano, the film tells the story of Danni Spasoto and her three
wildly different sisters. On the eve of Danni's wedding, the girls find
themselves clashing over their choices in love, careers and ultimately the
validation of their domineering father. Parise directed, produced and
appeared in the film.
