My name is Matt Campagna and I make westerns.

But not your father’s westerns. I do love Sergio Leone, so these are a little bit Fistful of Dollars, but a little bit Firefly and a little bit Sin City as well.

I’ve also been making web series since before YouTube was invented. Some for distributors like the Food Network, others in partnership with Dailymotion, Blip and YouTube.

And now I want to bring my knowledge and experience in both areas together with your help.

I need a lot of views to get funding to make the rest of SIX DAY ROAD.

I mean A LOT.

So please share SIX DAY ROAD episode zero, engage in conversation here and on and if you’d like, reach out to me; I love to talk westerns!

That webseries about wine that I’ve been directing for the last few years, The Naked Wine Show, has evolved into a new wine series for the Food Network called Grape Notes (if you like wine, you should join the Facebook group). Now that the press releases have gone out and the show has gone live, the gag-order on me any my social media tentacles has also been lifted! Here’s one of my favourite articles so far, it’s from MediaCaster Magazine:

"Raising a glass to toast a new online content deal, FoodNetwork.ca and Toronto-based production company Frogwater Media have more to celebrate than simply their partnership on a new digital series called Grape Notes.

Making its online debut today, Grape Notes is one of a number of digital initiatives the two companies are uncorking.

Specialty channel Food Network Canada is entering its second decade, having celebrated its tenth broadcast anniversary just last month. With new portable media and smartphone applications available and a recently redesigned website, Food Network is confident of continued growth and popularity as it head into the teen-aged years.

And Frogwater is in a celebratory mood, too, both with the official launch this week of Grape Notes, as well as other content developments that build on its successful track record of online and broadcast TV program production."

Following in the footsteps of YourGREEKNews, another web series I direct (and this time co-host) is making the jump from the web to TV. Which is NOT to say that YourGeekNews.com will have any less content on it — on the contrary, once the TV version hits its full stride, YourGeekNews.com visitors and subscribers will be treated to not one, not two, but THREE episodes a week, including our established behind-the-scenes movie previews, our movie REviews, as well as a new segment that we’ve always wanted to do: video game reviews!

So take a look at episode numero uno below, and if you like what you see, be sure to let me know! Hopefully we can find a broadcaster in YOUR area who can pick up the show for your viewing pleasure.

And if you’re a broadcaster who is interested in picking up the show for your station, just send an email off to Tim at Frogwater Media, and we’ll make it happen.
