It was announced over the weekend that BuzzFeed raised $50 million to pour into BuzzFeed Motion Pictures, their new video division being helmed by YouTuber Ze Frank. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the site will use that moolah to “produce everything from six-second videos to long-form episodic series to feature-length films,” to be distributed on BuzzFeed (natch), YouTube, and “other digital platforms.”
And sure, I could write a srs bsns post about what this means for the blogosphere in terms of having to create original content. I could speculate as to what “new technologies” the BuzzFeed Motion Pictures funding will serve as an “in-house incubator” for. Or I could make a stupid joke post about BuzzFeed’s reputation for that highest form of journalism: the listicle.
So. BuzzFeed: The Movie. Here’s what we want:
