Blogtainment.NET - The Digital Media & Entertainment Network

Four months into its launch, NetStudio.TV, a social networking site focusing on collaboratively developed content, has begun developing scripts and videos with socially responsible themes. The initiative comes as the New York startup continues to expand its pool of projects and “showrunners,” while awarding members with cash prizes for their participation.

Slated for development on the http://www.netstudio.tv network is a script
highlighting eating disorders. The end result will be a public service
announcement produced in partnership with a dedicated organization, in this
case the Linden Oaks Hospital at Edward in Naperville, IL. “This PSA sheds
light on the dangers of eating disorders and offer guidance and inspiration
to those impacted,” commented NetStudio.TV President Chris Marcantel.
Script development, stewarded by showrunner Stephanie Schweitzer, coincides
with Eating Disorder Awareness Week, February 24th-March 1st.

Another socially-minded script is a about animal rights. “This is an
opportunity for us to create a PSA letting everyone know how horrific dog
fighting and abuse are — not only to the animals, but to society at large
– and how to help stop it,” said NetStudio.TV CEO Bernadine Santistevan.
“This project has strong potential to raise awareness and spur action.”
Showrunner Nancy Marcantel will produce this project, which is sponsored by
Animal Rescue Foundation of Louisiana (ARF).

Rounding out the trio of socially responsible projects in development
among the NetStudio.TV community is a music video featuring Brian
Sizensky’s latest single, Nice Tomorrow. The emerging
singer/songwriter/guitarist has partnered with a charity, the Institute for
Child Development, to donate 50 percent of net profits from the single. “We
are extremely excited to be working on Brian’s music video and with this
charity,” said Santistevan. “We all believe that Brian is going to have
tremendous success as he moves forward in his career.” The music video is
being produced by NetStudio.TV’s producing partner, SkyTown Entertainment,
with one of its principals, Jane Petrov as showrunner.
