“Husbands: Television And Beyond” Panel - C2E2 2013

Featuring Brad Bell (aka Cheeks), Jane Espenson and Sean Hemeon

- - -

Brad Bell and Jane Espenson created Husbands, a marriage equality sitcom with the simple hope of giving life to a show they believed in. Two years later, the show is a critical smash, a popular success and now, a comic book hard cover collection.

With moderator Mathew Aaron, Bell and Espenson discuss the future of Husbands and the studio-free creative process including a screening.

Jane Espenson and Brad Bell are the creators of the award-winning newlywed comedy Husbands and are thrilled to be presenting the Husbands comic book collection that has grown out of the series.

Espenson is known for her work as a veteran writer/producer of shows including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, The O.C., Gilmore Girls, Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones and ABC’s Once Upon A Time among others.

Brad Bell has worked in both TV and new media, serving as Consulting Producer on VH1’s Pop-Up Video, appearing in Torchwood: Miracle Day on Starz, and as an independent producer of short form satire on YouTube.

ISA4: Brad Bell Wins Best Actor (Comedy)

At the 4th Annual Indie Soap Awards, HUSTLING stars Sebastian La Cause, Daphne Rubin-Vega and Jessica Press presented the Best Actor (Comedy) award.

The nominees were:
Ben Baur, HUNTING SEASON
Brad Bell, HUSBANDS
Sean Hemeon, HUSBANDS
Dane Joseph, DRAMA QUEENZ
Rob Michael Hugel, I HATE BEING SINGLE
Ed Robinson, PAIRINGS

Brad Bell won and gave one of the most memorable speeches of the night.

Oh crap, I really should have written a speech. And earlier I won for writing so the irony is not lost on me that I didn’t write anything. This is the second thing I’ve ever won in my life. This really means a lot because I think some people look at the character of Cheeks as a stereotype or caricature or something two-dimensional. What I really wanted to do with this script and this story was to show that even if you have stereotypes, even if you are feminine and have long eyelashes, or you love Madonna, or you sashay down the street, it doesn’t mean that you’re not a fully developed human being and you don’t have depth or dimension. My femininity is actually what gives me strength. It is not a weakness. To Jane Espenson and Jeff Greenstein, who directed a performance that I never would have delivered on my own, and my co-stars Sean Hemeon and Alessandra Torresani, I would not have been able to deliver without them giving me that energy, thank you. And really thank you so much for this. This means a lot to me.

Watch a montage of the nominees and the speech below:

The first award was for Best Writing (Comedy) - won by Brad and Jane Espenson for “Husbands”.

Speaking of finding strength in his own femininity - This video captures a moment of true happiness, and recognition of talent and heart.  This is one of Brad’s most endearing speeches - and it WILL make you tear up.  It did me…

Let me tell you about Jane Espenson:

What a cutie. She was so nice on the set of Husbands that even though I worked hard days in the sun, at the end of the day, just recalling one of the many things she did was enough to make me smile and boost my spirits.

• She helped out the interns with packing things just because she wanted to contribute something that gave a more immediate and visual impact than writing
• She was so shocked and pleased that I got our director his coffee without asking for it that she tipped me the money for his coffee despite my refusals - she literally stuffed it in my pocket
• She had a picture of me IN HER PHONE from NYCC when I cosplayed as Merida and she (finally) saw it which she showed to me and Sean
• She felt so embarrassed that she kept calling me Merida instead of Melissa on set that she apologized despite me saying that she could call me Merida if she’d like

• She’s so lovely.

The CW introducing ‘CW Seed’ digital and social hub

Exclusive: The CW is planning to rebrand its digital studio CWD as “CW Seed,” evolving it into a digital destination for loyal CW fans. The network will announce CW Seed at its upfront presentation in New York today. CW Seed will exist as a sub-site on CWTV.com, and will still produce original programming, but the channel is adding more interactivity to the service, opening up for feedback from viewers and adding more social engagement.

“I think this is kind of a unique thing for a broadcast network to do, to have an incubator to really look at and get feedback from the fans, what they are liking and what they are not liking, and really taking digital to a different level,” CW executive VP of marketing and digital programs Rick Haskins tells Lost Remote.

The CW–which targets viewers 18-34 years old–has a brand associated heavily with drama series, and CW Seed is a chance to expand its scope somewhat.

“We can test out new talent, test out new ideas, test out new ways for finding exciting new opportunities for advertisers, and in success moving it to the mainstream CW,” Haskins says. “The other thing it does is it really allow us to more fully explore the entire CW brand.

“Right now we have 10 hours on broadcast, and within that 10 hours we have 10 hour-long dramas, but we know our 18-34 year old audience also loves comedy, and also likes game shows, and what this allows us to do is provide a platform for comedies, game shows and other types of programming that the audience likes,” he added.

CW Seed will likely launch with the tagline “What’s Next,” a play on The CW’s tagline, which is “CW: TV Now.” CWD was first announced at last year’s upfront.

“To me what it is about exploring the next generation of not only digital, but in entertainment online as well,” Haskins says.

CW Seed will launch on CWTV.com later this Summer.

You know, I think it’s fantastic that Husbands has been picked up by a network with the visibility and marketing of the CW, but I’m beginning to worry about accessibility. The first two seasons, through the website and YouTube, were globally available. Channel owned websites have a bad habit of region controlling access to their content.

Brad and Jane have already mentioned this in their interviews in the aftermath of the announcement for Season 3.  They are in agreement that they want to have the show globally accessible, as it was with Seasons 1 & 2, and they are actively working to find a solution that will work within the framework of their agreement with the CW.
