It got into this year’s Tribeca and the trailer should be up soon.

The world is changing, with Hulu and Joost, the Internet archive and channels like PBS allowing video embeds, Smashingtelly can offer what I always wanted – to be able to watch TV over the web and share the things I find interesting, without having to scour for badly recorded items that get taken down in a week from Google.

I was very careful on Smashing Telly to not host things such as recent feature films or TV series which had a mainstream audience and only posted things which I thought were reasonable. As the broadcast industry steps up to the plate and offers Interesting TV over the web, I think that should be encouraged. It will only get better over time.

If I limit my audience but it means I won’t get sued and could possibly even get some ad revenue to support me continuing with it while still having interesting stuff to post, then I’ll be happy.

In addition, I would love if classic but obscure documentaries could be viewable, ad supported, over the web (which has effectively unlimited air-time) with money going back to the people who made them. Ongoing revenue, years later, would encourage quality rather than transient reality TV junk with no lasting value.
