The All-for-Nots The Vuguru web series
The All-for-Nots was distributed online by
HDNet. The show has been described as modern version of
The Monkees or
Spinal Tap, as it features a made-for-the-web
indie band with the same name as the title of the show. The web series follows the All-for-Nots, a band originating in
Williamsburg,
Brooklyn, on a fictional national tour across the US. It was released in 24 seven-minute episodes, in addition to 30 shorter web clips that provide background on the band and its members. The show was nominated for three
Streamy Awards in 2009, including Best Cinematography in a Web Series, Best Original Music in a Web Series, and Best Ad Integration in a Web Series, which it lost to fellow Vuguru web series
Back on Topps. That year the show also won a 2009 Streamy Award for Best Ad Integration in a Web Series. In 2010 it was the winner of the Streamy Award for Best Branded Entertainment Web Series and nominee for the 2010 Streamy Awards for Best Writing for a Comedy Web Series, Best Ensemble Cast in a Web Series, and Best Guest Star in a Web Series. Eisner's investment company is the owner of the
Topps merchandise company, from which the series gets its name. The comedy was played on
FoxSports.com, and was described in its first season as a seventeen episode
mockumentary.
The Booth at the End The Booth at the End, a psychological thriller in 23-minute installments, made its debut in 2010 in Canada on the website of
CityTV. The content is also available in 62 separate two-minute online episodes, and on
FX.
The Guardian said of the quality of the series that, "There is more talent and effort poured into one 120-second nugget, demanding a corresponding surge in effort and engagement from the viewer, than there is in almost any hour of TV elsewhere that you care to name." The show centers around individuals who encounter a man named Xander Berkeley. Berkeley sits in a diner booth silently looking out the window, waiting for a stranger to approach him with friendly banter. When they do, their journey begins. Tasks have included the robbing of a bank for exactly $101,043 in exchange for beauty or setting off a bomb in a cafe in order for a woman's husband to be cured of Alzheimer's. ==Executives==
