With a name like Blowtorch it’s no big surprise that this video entertainment company is searching for youthful, college talents for their next batch of short videos. A little background info: Blowtorch entertainment takes user generated content and mixes it up with trad industry media outlets for financing, producing and theatre distribution.

So, yes they really do make real films that you can really see at your local Cineplex, but they’ve got that nouveau, DIYesque edge. This outfit goes beyond Youtube and takes the 2.0 u-gen phenomenon to the big screen. They keep the cheeky, irreverent and slightly bombastic touch of web videos but add a professional slickness worthy of any Hollywood backlot. And so now they keeping their eyes peeled for new talent from you possibly. Submit a short, no longer than 3 min video explaining your short film idea. If they like it, they’ll ship you out to LA to get your film produced. Even if you’re not into creating films you can still check out short and feature length films on site. Additionally, submitted material can be embedded to other networks and blogs.

“Blowtorch is an entertainment company that joins forces with you, our online legion of young, creative thinkers, to create unique feature length and short form films.

You see, we kinda look at it like this, if you've helped to create something, there's a good chance you might actually like it.
And for those choosing to partake in the experience, we encourage you to put your stink on all things Blowtorch, or maybe just kick back and enjoy the deliciously stinky fruits of your peers labors.

Blowtorch puts out 6 feature films per year. They play in hundreds of theaters nationwide. Any one film might be funny or edgy or scary, but if anything, they will always celebrate irreverence, engaging you in a familiar voice and attitude. ”

Blowtorch is taking the reverse approach to integrating new media and old. The big networks, ABC, NBC, Fox, etc are turning to the web to hit the critical 18-24 year old market. Blowtorch on the other hand, is looking to traditional media to combine web memes with those of the big studios. They’ve already got a number of shorts out and a feature film is set to be released next year.

Will this reverse strategy work? How different are their films from everything else out there?
Will they better utilize their online marketing skills to harness the wisdom of the crowds?
