Miramax now closed!
After operating for over 31 years, Miramax has finally shut down, and its New York and Los Angeles offices will both be closed. Another casualty of this economy? Or just another casualty of the always-changing world of motion pictures? Ever since Mike Judge's Extract bombed last year, Miramax has been on the verge of closing down. And now with Rich Ross running Disney, that studio, which has owned Miramax for 17 years, has finally put the last nail in its coffin. For those that don't know, the distributor was originally founded in 1979 by Harvey and Bob Weinstein, who broke off due to infighting in 2005 to start their own company. Read about it here!!!

It sparked a bidding war before landing at NBC during a pilot-pickup season in which specs are hotter than ever before. Read about it here!!!

Looking to form partnership with indy music labels
With so many people now doing webseries, I happened to notice one thing that has been overlooked often. The big thing that gets over looked is music for the series. Often music is purchased like “stock artwork” very generic, usable and helpful. But what if you could use actual “good” music provided by a independent music label? While the music may not be Sony or EMI, it could still be quality music that fits well with what you are doing. Better yet, would if you could cross promote to each other’s fan base? How much would that be worth to your webseries? Even better, what if you could go to Pyxelbox and search through a list of independent music labels who would be interested in helping webseries creators and producers do just that? Sounds like a great service right? What if it was free? If you like this idea and would like to talk more about it you should contact us directly at contact@pyxelbox.com. Talk to you later…
