Yep, I started another company. Couldn’t help it.
I have a passion for media, and I was getting way too anxious watching the TV/broadband world change without being a part of it. Coincident with that, the commoditization of media creation tools is incredibly exciting, and of particular interest to me is the impact that is having on teens.
The amount of content being created by teens is astonishing; a significant amount of it is actually good, and some is even great. This isn’t dad’s home movies anymore. Today’s youth have grown up consuming media at a rate beyond what we could even have imagined when we were kids. The availability of multiple forms of media on multiple devices and honed multitasking skills give modern American teens the ability to expose themselves to over six hours a day of media during their leisure time. (And they accomplish it in around four hours.)
From these hours of eyepounding exposure, teens are developing styles and techniques for storytelling that are uniquely their own. The content that they create is imaginative, funny, disturbing, insightful, and deeply personal.
At Uth TV, we’re finding the best of the young media creators and giving them a highly visible outlet for their work.
