As a young studio here in town we tend to find ourselves dreaming BIG. Naturally, we would want our own TV channel, unfortunately, we fall just several million dollars short of creating a broadcast channel. So, we decided to syndicate ourselves on the WWW instead. Much cheaper, and it is possible that we could reach an even larger audience! When I say we have syndicated ourselves, I simply mean, our shorts are available for immediate viewing on MULTIPLE online destinations.
Our core channels:
youtube.com
blip.tv
metacafe.com
revver.com
and you can always view our shorts at QuarterOrange.com
You will also be finding some of our content on more sites in the future so keep looking for updates!
Why are we on multiple networks? Being on multiple networks will not only allow us to reach a larger audience by penetrating some niche corners of online video. This idea goes with our belief that the viewing experience should always be enjoyable. By spreading out across the web our viewers will have the option to watch our content on whatever channel they prefer. The Audience gains CONTROL.
As independent filmmakers trying to penetrate the web market we know quality and quantity can be equally important. We strive for excellence in quality and frankly, we feel it is being taken from us when we try to distribute online. We have no choice when it comes to the viewing experience. Every video site presents our content a little differently some for better some for worse, but either way, we didn't choose it. We only have this option on our own website, but what if the audience doesn't want to jump around to different sites? Isn't that why these aggregators became popular in the first place?
We want you to watch our shorts, but we want you to be able to watch them on a site you prefer. Whether you want the highest quality, fastest load, easiest to share, genre specific or ratings friendly you will be able to find us. Have control, watch it where you enjoy it.
Just a reminder to constantly push for innovation in online video quality and PRESENTATION.

NEW releases!
HELLO! Today is a great day, for more than one reason. Not only is the sun poking it's head through the clouds, but we also have NEW content!
TONIGHT! Is the premier of TOYMAKER a short film by Selena Persiani. We all helped out on the project and are very excited to see it premier tonight at the Hollywood theatre. It will be playing alongside other short films from the Art Institute of Portland. Show starts @ 7pm but be there early! The auditorium is expected to be overly full due to an OMPA event that is going down at the same time. For refreshments before the show, you can probably find us at the Laurelwood brewery chowing down on pizza and their delicious Red Ale.
In other release news. Quarter Orange has released TWO films to the WORLD WIDE WEB aka:www
CAGED ANIMALS & THE OLD MAN AND HIS GRANDSON
Both short films were uploaded to Dailymotion and have now been linked to Metacafe. The films will be spreading to other online outlets in the near future. These films will stand out against our current online offering as they exhibit high production value with precision quality. So please check them out! Then tell all of your friends and maybe even a few strangers!
