YouTube to produce original films

Google’s online video service, YouTube, has announced that it is going into partnership with multi-channel network (MCN) and DreamWorks Animation subsidiary AwesomenessTV to make a series of films.

YouTube Originals boss Alex Carloss made the announcement via a blog post.

“Together, we’ll release several feature-length films over the next two years, all driven by YouTube stars and developed and produced by AwesomenessTV’s Brian Robbins,” - he wrote.

“The films will all premiere globally on YouTube before they become available elsewhere, setting what we believe will become a new distribution paradigm for years to come. We hope to release our first film this fall, with more details to come soon.” Alex added.
