The Unavoidable Future of Entertainment

Almost every month down in LA, there is a Thunderdome style “video-off”. Contestants submit their 5-min. entries to a pannel.

At the end of the night, the winners are allowed to continue their 5-min. story.I’ve been watching Channel 101 for almost two years; and in that time, I’ve watched the show grow to include entries from all over the states and celebs like Jack Black and Drew Carrey.

Somebody over in Japan did a little animation based on some of Jim’s characters from his Frank series.
