TGISB!

TGISB -- THANK GOD IT'S SPRING BREAK!

I'm sure you are just as stoked as I am now that classes are JUST about over. Spring Break is already here for some of us and for others, only a few short hours away. But hey, Spring Break doesn't just mean not going to school, it means you'll have more time to watch OTN! Okay...so maybe you won't be watching OTN (ch. 2 and 2.1) from dusk til dawn...but hey, you can come pretty close with our LIVE Stream on the site!

Speaking of the website, we have a bunch of new webisodes up (with more coming a little later today)! Take a load off now that midterms are over and laugh it up with our very own improv troupe Zamboni Revolution or our stand-up comedians from Woo Hoo Comedy! Later we should be uploading a Dance Works webisode as well as a couple other things. So keep a lookout for those!

So, long story short: Watch ch. 2 & 2.1 for some quality, student-made shows. And check out our LIVE Stream/Webisodes online! Have an amazing break guys, cause I know I will!

Oh and if you aren't leaving 'cuse, maybe this will cheer you up...just pretend it's you on that beach, living the dream...

Peace!

Indie Flick Files - Looking ahead, a new film!


Hey there, folks! On behalf of the cast and crew of Indie Flick Files, I hope you've been enjoying our most recent Indie Flick, "Aaltra," hailing all the way from Belgium.


I know we're all giddy for Spring break, and the prospect of coming back to Syracuse after our respective vacations often seems a little depressing, because regardless of where you live, it is warmer than here, BUT we do have something that might make that depressed thought a bit more cheery -- a brand new film! "The Bothersome Man" comes to us all the way from Norway and the creative directorial mind of Jens Lien (that's a male name, by the way. And yes, I had to google image the name to figure that out). This film is a perfect way to propel us along our little Euro film trip we've been taking since Norway is just a short drive and a swim north of Belgium, the location of our most recent flick, "Aaltra."


The film chronicles an unfortunate man named Andreas who arrives in a city with absolutely no memory of how he got there. It is a city without children, without smell and without taste. It is a metropolis where no amount of sex can satisfy and no amount of booze can intoxicate. It is a grey, numb, monotone, monochrome existence. It is a film of a million allegories; a true field day for any film analyst.


We hope you can join us on this fantastic journey after break as we attempt to scratch the surface of this dense and compelling conceit.


Safe travels to you all over Spring break and catch you in a week or so!


- Andrew

Just another Thursday at Schine!

Yep, we were there again putting YOU on camera! And it was a good day; got a couple animal noises, some guy freestyling about SU being number one, and a duo singing some angelic verses.

Take a peek at our facebook page (search for "The Orange Television Network") and you'll be able to check out the pictures and videos from Watch Yourself Thursdays at Schine! The pictures taken today will be up late tonight!

And an FYI for all you folks who are wondering why video of you isn't up on facebook yet...well our video uploader isn't working at the moment. But it should be fixed really soon! Don't worry, i'll let you know when something new pops up on our facebook page!

Oh, and if you need a study break from those annoying midterms that are coming up, watch The Mark Zito Show! It's on at 9pm tonight on channels 2 &2.1. Also, don't forget that you can watch us streaming on our site! Check it!
