Ouat Media specializes in short films and short form series. They have contacts all over the world, and we’re confident that you’re gonna see alot of announcements in this space soon, as they bring Team Leader to the attention of international broadcasters and mobile phone operators.

We at Gopher X are delighted to have Ouat Media as a partner to bring Team Leader to an increasingly larger audience.

Since that moment, the Team Leader website has been online and people are loving it! Today is only Thursday, and already we have over 5000 views. As the viewership for online shows tends to grow more or less exponentially as people discover the series and tell their friends, we think that is a fantastic start!

So go ahead, sling on over to http://www.team-leader.com and get in on the fun!

We’re very excited to have a broadcast schedule locked down. They have cut together a fantastic commercial, that we’ll try to get a link to, for you all to enjoy!

See you on the 18th!

Team Leader has made it’s first baby steps into the great big world! We have finalized the sale to Movieola, the short film channel!

That means not only will it be on your TV, but it will be on Hulu, too! Now, I know that you can only watch it if you’re in the US, but we still consider that a big step forward in our multi-platform plans. We’ll let you know when it is airing both on Movieola and on Hulu.

It won’t be long now until we launch it live on it’s own site!

Stand by…

While we can’t say anything officially just yet, in the near future this blog will feature big announcements for a bunch of our projects; Team Leader, Robot Roommates, Mission Control and maybe - if you’re good - Tights and Fights: Ashes!

That isn’t enough for you? How about this - we’re gearing up to announce a Gopher X partnership that’s gonna rock the world of those in the know…

Until then… keep diggin’!

Scott and Christopher partnered with writer/producer Josh Budd and director/producer Chris Forest shot all 12 episodes in November of 2006. It has taken us up until now to get through the picture and sound editing. We’ll have something to show you coming soon… we’re working on a sneak peek for all of our cast, crew and loyal Gopher X fans.

You can gauge my level of excitement by the fact that as I write this I am not wearing any pants.

Aaron Sorkin said that Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was his most autobiographical work. Well… Scott says that Robot Roommates is his. Does that mean you’re a robot, Scott?

We’re working with talented Bryce Hallet (The Red Green Show, History Bites) for the animation to this one. We’re super excited to have Bryce on board with us. We’ve been trying to work with him for awhile now, and Robot Roommates is the project that made it happen.

We hope to go into production on RR (as we call it in our lazy way) by the end of April.

We’d like to thank Movieola for believing in us. If you get the channel, check us out!

Tights and Fights airing schedule

If you don’t get the channel, you should look into it. They’re doing great things. You can watch a whole bunch of stuff on their website, too!

This is an exciting time for us. We’ve got a brand website, and while it is still a bit of a work in progress, we’re very happy with it! We hope you like it.

Plus, we’re gearing up to do a new animated series, Robot Roommates, and after that we’re going to dive right into series two of Tights and Fights. We’re calling it Tights and Fights: Ashes, and it focuses on five different super heroes and their (eventual) quest to find Captain Euchre.

And we’re forming a new partnership, one that will definitely take us to the next level. We’ll let you know as soon as we can.

Watch this space!

Captain Euchre is Fighting Crime… without a Full Deck!

Tights and Fights, An Innovative New Canadian
Comedy Series, Launches October 26!

(Toronto, ON) Soon to be airing on Movieola—The Short Film Channel (www.movieola.ca), the short form, multi-platform comedy Tights and Fights will be available for viewing online starting Friday October 26, 2007, at www.tightsandfights.com.

Tights and Fights is a fictional video diary of the ups and downs (and sideways) of a Canadian super-hero, Captain Euchre (played by writer/producer Scott Albert). Once a highly ranked player on the professional Euchre circuit, Captain Euchre now fights crime using a Euchre card deck which was exposed to mysterious cosmic radiation! Using his webcam, Captain Euchre keeps us updated about his daily life – whether he’s bogged down in meetings with Ronin Force, fighting Librarian Marm or the Salad King, or dating Dynagal, each hilarious episode contrasts the comic book clichés of being a super-hero with the frustrations of modern life.

Created expressly for the demands of multi-platform distribution, Tights and Fights is simultaneously distributed online, on mobile, and traditional broadcast. Each episode is less than five minutes long, making it ideal for viewers looking for a “content snack” on the go or just a quick break, while the ongoing storyline is also perfect for someone to sit back on the couch and watch a number of episodes in a row. The current storyline of 52 episodes will last until March 2008, with plans for a new batch of episodes to begin soon after.

With this ongoing series, GopherX.net is building on the run-away success of our previous multi-platform series, the animated six episode limited series The Retired Porn Producer’s Guide To… which has received over 100,000 views across the internet since its launch last year. It is currently airing on Movieola—The Short Film Channel and is distributed on mobile by Big Bang Pictures. A second 12 episode limited series, Team Leader, is currently in post-production, with a launch expected by the end of the year.

GopherX.net is a partnership between Christopher Guest and Scott Albert. Gopher X and The Retired Porn Producer’s Guide To… has been featured on G4 Tech TV’s Torrent TV, and has been covered by C21 Media and Playback Magazine. Tights and Fights can currently be seen on Movieola—The Short Film Channel and after October 26, 2007 at www.tightsandfights.com.
