HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. - Clips of the pilot episode of The Money Shot Report have had over 1,250,000 views on YouTube. Brett Drysdale, creator and exec producer of the show, which is an Entertainment Tonight–type show covering the gay porn industry, says, "When the pilot episode became available on NakedSword and Maleflixxx last fall, we decided to take advantage of the whole viral marketing phenomena and put some teaser clips up on You Tube. I was extremely happy with the response on the VOD sites with tens of thousands of views of the entire show, but I was blown away by the interest in the clips on YouTube. What was also amazing was how many persons subscribed to be notified of future clips or videos."
The pilot, which editor and exec producer Thor Stephans says took almost five months to produce, was created to gauge interest in the possibility of a series. Drysdale says that there are two parties currently interested in creating more episodes: "One of the parties is looking to create a branded entertainment vehicle with The Money Shot drawing viewers and traffic to their site with the offering of this entertainment show, and the other is looking to add the show to its current roster of originally produced content they currently are offering their members/visitors."
He adds, "We've spent a lot of our own time and money on this show so I want it to find a good home where it can prosper for years to come. We really believe in this show, in what it will offer the consumers as entertainment, and what it will offer the industry in exposure."
