End of a Ninja Era? - TV Week

You can find out pretty much anything from blogs these days. All you have to do is RSS those little suckers and you are in the know.

So here’s what I learned thanks to my RSS for Kent Nichols this morning.

As you know, or as you should know, Nichols is one of the co-creators of the hit Web series “Ask a Ninja” and has been tapped to direct a remake of cult favorite “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.”

He said in a recent blog post that he and co-creator Doug Sarine may take a break from “Ask a Ninja” after their current contract to produce the Web show runs out.

Check out the post. In addition to their possible Ze Frank/Quit While You’re Ahead suggestion, the post offers great insight into the aspirational path of new media.

On a related note, if you want to follow Kent and Doug’s path and get into feature filmmaking, you may want to check out www.hungryflix.com. It’s a self-service site for filmmakers and producers to upload their flicks.
