Disney-ABC Television Group launches Stage 9 Digital Media as experimental new media studio
The Disney-ABC Television Group has launched Stage 9 Digital Media which will focus on creating original short-form programming by merging innovative creativity with superior production quality.
Barry Jossen, an Academy Award-winning short-form producer and studio executive, has been tapped as general manager of Stage 9. The studio has an active slate of more than 20 programs in comedy, drama, animation and reality ranging from traditional linear episodic storytelling to fully immersive interactive content geared toward the trend-setting A18-34 demographic. Working with emerging talent from the online community, Stage 9 is squarely focused on content creation, smartly distributing its programming through top broadband video sites, online social networks, mobile, and download services in order to maximize user accessibility and exposure. Additionally, the studio will collaborate with the company’s Disney-ABC International Television on global digital distribution of its content.
The studio’s first release, “Squeegees,” is available exclusively on ABC.com and YouTube, with its initial run sponsored by Toyota.
