Hi guys, I've recently written and made a sitcom for a $1000. Took me a couple of years to do and I know that getting it on to TV will be an almost impossible task. But I wondered if anyone has had any experience of submitting something creative (moving footage of some form) onto any internet sites that aren't Vimeo and YouTube. I'm keen that people see it, and just wondered if anyone could give me some advice on who I can approach/use.

Here is the link in case you're interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Eu6EfnsgVUk or on mobile - http://vimeo.com/52326482

Thanks in advance.

I have no experience in this domain at all but just taking a shot at answering you. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and more I believe are all producing original content now. They're huge but I suspect they operate differently than the large networks. If you intend to really go for this and try to get in front of someone to pitch, make your effort count more by not going straight for the whales.

Definitely give this a try! I just watched the first few minutes of your sitcom and it is already better than many sitcoms (and all shows for that matter) that I've seen. Wonderful job!
