If you answered yes to any of the above questions, there is an answer to them. There is a website platform out there that is seeking new web-series to promote called Plenty Pennies.
Plenty Pennies Media was created by actress Tiffany Black in October 2010 in order to create a platform for web-series content to be easily found and to help establish a following for the productions to sustain themselves. Plenty Pennies seeks exclusive content that showcases high quality, black programming.
“Much like pennies, we believe web-series are more valuable when they are collected,” Tiffany, Founder, said.
Ultimately, Plenty Pennies Media works towards creating a distribution hub that houses the best of original content available. “We plan to ensure that shows on the Plenty Pennies network are promoted heavily so that they have options and create larger opportunities,” Black said.
