As one of the first successful webseries, it was a fun experiement to see how long episodes should be and was a useful tool to dispel the concept that a video on the internet had to be less then 5 min. This show also helped sell the concept that a company could create original content for their customers and help improve their overall brand image.
The series was also a great jumping off point for me personally, as I had the chance to cast and interact with filmmakers from all over the world and meet a lot of people that I had looked up to during my early years. It also gave me the opportunity to start producing content on a professional level and learn how to create a consistant show over the course of many years. In 2011 episode 38 "Commitment to the Craft" was honored with a Chicago/Midwest Regional Emmy Award.
Outstanding Achievement for Interview/Discussion Programming: Scott Lynch, Steve Weiss, Jens Bogehegn, Producers
