LOL! Alright, this isn't a movie - HOWEVER - it has everything to do with what many of us at IT are trying to achieve: The Skills to Create, Develop, Direct, Participate, Produce, and/or Distribute a Film, Documentary, or Series.

Who can watch this six and a half minute short and break it down into its multiple components?
- Who's organizing this web series and why?
- What is it's true point/purpose/function?
- Can we apply this to any filmmaking product we create?
- Regarding Episode 5's focus, how is the "talk" of Leslie, unemployed real estate agent, painfully similar to much of the filmmaker-in-training approaches brought to this forum?
- Is age discrimination the majority of the reason WHY Leslie has not been able to find a new job over the last year? She's putting in a lot of effort. She has a abundance of experience. What gives?
- Is there a "problem" with Leslie's 30yrs of sales experience? Can she bring her skill set from one industry to another?
- What product is really being advertised in the short? (Hint: it ain't the expand-O-pants-button.)
- As of this posting there are 212 comments. Any gold to mine from those?
- What do think about the...
"JOIN THE DEBATE :
With her skills and savvy, what career path should Leslie choose?
- Stick with sales
- Start her own business"
... audience interactivity option?
Watch the series.
- What is the construct of the web series format?
- Would you be interested in watching Leslie's sales training progression in subsequent episodes? Do you believe others will be watching this on Yahoo?
- What did the producer(s) have to coordinate to make this series?
- What hardware and software were used in it's production?
- Do you own or have access to equivalent hardware and software - and could do one of these yourself?
- Assuming you do have the equipment (indirect/overhead costs), what would your direct costs be? $20?
- I think it's safe to say distribution was already licked - but... unless this was an in-house product, someone likely had to approach yahoo and pitch this series, for which a decision maker or committee there green lit.
- Can you come up with a rip-off of this series? Five rip-offs? More?
- What steps would you have to take to put something together to make that same pitch for your best rip-off?
- Would you sound better than Leslie's impromptu elevator pitch? She's got 30yrs of experience selling. What do you got?
