Today I had a Interview about TBT (The Big Time) over Twitter.

NerdboyTV: Today's NerdBoyTV TwitterVIEW is with @GabeMichael, one of the creators of The Big Tim Show. http://www.thebigtimeshow.com/

Gabe Michael: yes sir!

NB: We're doing this TwitterVIEW live for Friends to Follow...with that let's begin.
Hey Gabe, welcome. Tell us what The Big Time Show is? Where did your idea come from?

GM: The show is in the vein of Entourage and The office, except that the stars (my friend dave and I) have no talent! haha We got the idea sitting around in my friends spa one day. We just thought...what talent do we have to offer the world. we couldn't think of any. thus the show was born...

NB: I just watched the Pilot Episode the other day; funny. How many people are involved in producing an episode?

GM: For the pilot we had the actors plus the camera man and that was it. So about 5. Every episode since that number has grown.

NB: Ahhhh, the BEST inspiration comes from being in the spa, huh? LOL You obviously have a GREAT sense of humor... Are you showcasing your humor, your film-making ability, your ability to gather fans on social networking, or maybe all above?

GM: E) all the above. I come from a filmmaking background while Dave has a degree in marketing. So with no budget for this show.....we rely on social networking as our only advertising and distribution

NB: Well you seem VERY adept at BOTH. Do you have a YouTube channel? Do you have RSS? Syndicate on iTunes?

GM: http://youtube.com/thebigti... we have over 1000 subscribers and our hits grow exponentially as more and more find the show.

NB: Do you syndicate through iTunes store? Now THAT's a huge pool of potential viewers...
Do you have a very vocal, interactive following through YouTube/Twitter comments? Get story ideas from them?

GM: We are in the process of RSS and Itunes.The show started to take off faster then we thought. Filming has been taking up our time. We have had chances for distribution, but struggling for money. We will get there slowly. or quickly depending on ITVF

NB: ITVF This is The Independent Television Festival, BTW, everyone; awww the beauty of TwitterVIEWs; access to Google ;-)

GM: Our comments on youtube are hilarious and various. We have actually used a few for jokes in the episodes we just wrapped. we also get tons of emails and messages about content and stories from "real life struggling artist" We are trying to make the show as interactive as possible. we will have Vlogs Blogs and more content soon

NB: WOW, what a PERFECT use of the medium. I think that's what I admired about your work ;-) The Big Time Show is the epitome of interactive TV, huh? Where do you want this all to go for you? Syndication? move to TV?

GM: Syndication would be awesome. TV the dream. We are coming in on the ground level of Internet TV so who knows. Its a new world.

NB: If someone here on Twitter has storyline idea for The Big Time Show, what is the best way to get that to you? Comments? Tweets?

GM: I would say visit our website, myspace or tweet me. We try to stay on top of it, but are very busy. We appreciate every comment

NB: If u could give one piece of advise to aspiring Twitter filmmakers who want to follow suit, what would that be? Lesson learned?

GM: finding an audience is hardest piece, but if you make good content they will come. If someone comments you, comment them back.....people like getting and giving feedback. become friends with your audience. they like that!
