IMOOGI TV Lands in SL - p2
and being a part of turning it into tomorrow's huge
block-buster. We have even more interac ve
solu ons on the back burner for later this year. We
strongly believe that interac vity is the future of
entertainment!
NVM: Viewer programmed television sounds
amazing but it also sounds challenging. What
happens when the public wants a show or web
series the cri cs and the industry considers being
crap?
iMoogi Enterprises CEO, Tracy Renee
makers, machinimists, and more that could one
day be the Peter Jacksons and Stephen Spielberg's
of tomorrow.
TR: Technically yes, though there are some big
differences s ll, from what we're doing to what
they do. We are not trying to compete in their
space as much as create our own niche in order to
best fulfill the needs of the market we know so
well, a market that just may be what Ne lix or Hulu
might consider a bit too low on the totem pole for
them. But with our help, our creators will move up
those rungs swi ly!
NVM: However unlike either Ne lix or Hulu,
IMOOGI TV has a very unique feature that really
involves the viewers in a new way they have never
been involved before. Please explain the
interac ve new role the viewer's play in IMOOGI
TV.
TR: Fans, or viewers, know what they like, they
know how to discern what is good from bad, and
even if it's bad, they tend to s ll find things in a
property that makes it worthy of going viral. We
see it all the me on YouTube. They are highly
intelligent beings with valuable insights and
opinions and we want to capture that, invi ng
them to be a part of taking what they like to watch

TR: Honestly, if the fan-base is large enough, for
whatever reason, in the end the ability to earn
revenue from a property will drive it's future
success, to spite the "professional" cri c's and their
opinions. How o en have you seen A-list movie
reviews that shredded the work, yet the box office
far exceeded the producer's greatest
expecta ons? While the professional's opinions
are very important and highly valued, in the end,
it's the audience that decides what it is they want.
NVM: Another unique aspect of IMOOGI TV, for
those using it to get exposure to launch their
careers, is your media partner program. Please tell
us how that works.
TR: There are so many talented people out there,
they have ideas, they have proper es, they have
the means to create, but they don't have the
educa on, connec ons or wherewithal to turn this
crea vity into a career.
To become a Media Partner with iMoogi.tv, a
creator's property has moved up from The
Hatchery to iMoogi.tv prime. That's step one.
Once there, the iMoogi team goes to work on
bringing quality adver sing opportuni es, of many
kinds (not just commercials or sta c ads), to the
creator's channel. When this happens, that
creator is earning a large por on of those
adver sing dollars! Further, it is wri en into our
business plan that a percentage of the overall
iMoogi profits is reserved for reinves ng not only
