Showtime Networks has announced a new online entertainment destination, alt.SHO.com, which is set to launch this Spring via an online film festival comprised of user-generated submissions. Alt.sho.com will be focussing on the work of those who are creating content that?s particularly appropriate to the Web environment of today ? but, like Eveo.com, it?s dangling the carrot of traditional airtime for the best submissions. ?alt.SHO.com is about spotlighting the work of digital media creative talent who are using Web-appropriate technology to create exciting and innovative entertainment,? explained Showtime Digital Media Group Sr. VP Gene Falk. ?It isn’t another online film festival. We’re looking for the kind of unique content that’s the best fit for today’s bandwidth and delivery technology. alt.SHO.com will demonstrate what can be accomplished when the worlds of technology and media collide. And who knows, the best submissions may even find a place on our traditional SHOWTIME broadcast networks.?Showtime has said that it will judge featured submissions and host an awards gala later in the year.
