Marvelous Mediocre Films

I interrupt the extremely serious and meaningful discourse here on OLDMTA to shamelessly plug a company whose owner I have never met. Whose business I have no economic interest in. Without any possible benefit to ME ME ME.

So why am I doing it? Because Mediocre represents the new era of video content production made possible by the web -- a world where opportunities are democratized and the most entertaining and dare I say valuable ideas are chosen by viewers instead of six guys in shiny suits in a Hollywood conference room. Because Mediocre is that digital cream rising to the top of the glass. And because MF stuff is so funny it deserves a shameless plug.

The history of Mediocre Films, taken from their website, is as follows:

Mediocre Films was formed by Greg Benson to create a sketch comedy TV series called "Skip TV," which he wrote, produced, directed and starred in as "Skip." One 12 episode season aired in Los Angeles, and it quickly gained a strong following of fans with questionable taste.
...
After spending the next few years eating bags of potato chips over the sink and crying, Greg began producing and acting in original short films to fill the void in his empty heart. His first project, "Ace Up My Sleeve," was a drama written and directed by ABC-TV's Edwin Lewis. Greg would like to take this moment to reassure you that he will not attempt to make another drama.

Defin'ey my sort of humour. Greg is a clever guy, and to prove it here are some of my favorite MF productions:











See em all here.

Now, after watching those, don't you think Mediocre could make a better movie to interest people in your start-up than that red and blue animated Flash demo thing you are contemplating?
