The unscripted series is the second from Westbrook Media for Snap, following Will Smith’s “Will From Home,” which premiered earlier this spring and has been watched by over 35 million Snapchat users, according to Snap.
Smith, 22, will be joined on “The Solution Committee” by a range of celebrity guests including Hailey Bieber, Common, Willow Smith, Janelle Monáe, Phoebe Robinson, Yara Shahidi, and Lena Waithe.

Snapchat has unveiled a new slate of 10 original series and renewals for its serialized series Endless Summer, Deep Creek and The Dead Girls Detective Agency. The announcements were part of Snapchat’s Snap Partner Summit Thursday in West Hollywood.
“In 2019, mobile will surpass television in time spent for U.S. adults. This transformation is creating massive new opportunities,” said Sean Mills, Snap senior director of content, during the keynote. “But realizing this potential is not as simple as repurposing old content for new screens. Mobile storytelling has to be different because the way we use our phones is so different.”
The 10 new series include six scripted projects, New Form’s Two Sides, which focuses on a young couple navigating a breakup told from both characters’ points of view simultaneously; sci-fi series Commanders from Dakota Pictures; sneaker cult comedy Sneakerheads from Indigo and Emjag Productions; and Denton’s Death Rate from Insurrection Media.

Vidcon’s first full day on Thursday kicked off in Anaheim, bringing together more than 20,000 attendees to meet their favorite digital stars, network with other creators and pitching potential business deals with brands and advertisers.
The gathering at the Anaheim Convention Center is the ninth iteration of the annual confab which brings together online video industry leaders, content creators and fans. Thousands spread out over the convention center campus, walking through the convention hall where brands like Nickelodeon, Lego, Gushers candy and others had elaborate, interactive booths. Facebook Watch’s booth featured various rooms for social-media friendly photos.
The massive presence of exhibitors and others mark an evolution for Vidcon from its early days when roughly 1,400 people attending the first convention in a hotel ballroom in Century City.
Vidcon’s maturation is evident in other ways this year. Viacom acquired the conference in early February, and a number of Viacom...

As compared to other social platforms, Snapchat has not traditionally prioritized the creator community, having launched as a one-to-one communication vehicle for Irl friends before collaborating with premium publishers via its Discover hub.
But that's all poised to change, executives as the company is now turning its eye to the creator community. In a session at VidCon today, Snapchat's head of original content, Sean Mills, and newly-tapped head of talent partnerships, Lauren Gallo, discussed the ways in which Snapchat is shifting its focus to help digital influencers better tap into its highly-engaged community of 191 million daily active users.
Though its controversial redesign resulted in several public rebukes, Mills said that the company has since roughly bounced back from a user and usage perspective. "I like being part of a company that takes big swings and learns quickly," he said. "That's the core of who we are."

Snapchat Shows, a short-form serialized video format that was employed strictly by premium content providers like NBC Universal, is now being extended to creators on the social platform.
Snap disclosed the change Thursday at the Vidcon event in Anaheim, where Sean Mills, director of content partnerships, spoke and revealed that the first such Show will feature makeup artist Patrick Starrr, creator and star of a E!-branded makeover Show, “Face Forward.”
Now Snap will be looking to work more with the influencers that are popular on its platform, a stark departure from just a few years ago when Snapchat was widely criticized for ignoring them. But with Vidcon in full effect, leading streaming platforms including Facebook and Instagram are touting new opportunities to pursue monetizable content strategies on their respective platforms.
The Snapchat Show featuring Starrr will have a makeover tutorial format, and is expected to launch on the Discover Platform later this year.

Snap is expanding its original programming into a new genre: soft-scripted docu-series, with the first Snapchat Show in this area from Bunim-Murray Productions starring teen YouTube creator Summer Mckeen.
“Endless Summer” is currently in production and slated to debut in September. The coming-of-age series follows the life of 19-year-old Summer Mckeen, a beauty and fashion vlogger who has her own jewelry line, living on her own for the first time in Laguna Beach — next door to her boyfriend, Dylan Jordan.
With “Endless Summer” and other docu-series, Snap wants to build a slate of character-driven serialized narratives focused on the stories of “compelling people around the world as they go through dramatic life moments, incredible journeys, and challenging relationships,” said Sean Mills, Snap’s senior director of content programming. The largest group of daily active Snapchatters are 18-24, and the docu-series format has huge appeal for this cohort.

Snapchat is seeking more media partners. Advertisers feel they’re under siege as TV viewing migrates to ad-free platforms. Celebrity endorsement deals remain an art, not a science. Engagement is the metric of the future, but brand “passion” is the Holy Grail for content providers.
There are among the key takeaways from the industry leaders and experts who gathered Friday at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in New York for Variety’s annual Ent & Tech summit. The conference examines the intersection of media and entertainment with the new platforms and technologies that are redefining the content business.
Here are 10 highlights from the daylong event:
Joe Marchese, president of advertising for Fox Networks Group, drew comparisons between the modern media marketplace and cryptocurrency. Consumers’ attention is the coin of the realm, which lends itself to all sorts of potential problems from fraud to stuffing too many commercials into TV shows — even fake news.

Snapchat wants to curate a library of premium, exclusive shows that will live within its Stories section, and thanks to a new deal, ABC will provide some of that content. As first reported by Variety, the Disney-abc Television Group and Snapchat owner Snap Inc. have teamed up for programming based around some of the former company’s TV programs.
The first ABC show to inspire a Snapchat series will be The Bachelor, which will return for its 21st TV season on January 2nd. The next day, former Bachelorette contestant Nick Viall, who is serving as The Bachelor for season 21, will host Watch Party: The Bachelor, a Snap-sized companion. Each episode of the digital series will run between three to five minutes and, like a lot of the other content on Snapchat, will disappear 24 hours after its initial launch.

Despite not being nominated for Best Director, Louise Archambault’s Gabrielle managed to pull off what we thought was the impossible (our Leora Heilbronn has pegged the drama as the film that should win, but favored Denis Villeneuve’s Enemy as the best bet) winning Best Motion Picture at the 2014 Canadian Screen Awards (a.k.a Canadian Oscars). If the out of synch supposed “live” telecast wasn’t bad enough (all awards including the winning film were announced almost one hour prior to on twittersphere), the show’s producers gave Gabrielle winning producers Luc Déry and Kim McCraw the equivalent of end of toilette paper roll in terms of time.
The voters also choose Gabrielle‘s Gabrielle Marion-Rivard as Best Actress in a Leading Role, while the heavily favored Enemy grabbed five awards, Best Direction for Villeneuve, Best Original Score for the excellent Danny Bensi/Saunder Jurriaans pairing , Best Editing,...

London -- The Onion News Network will be available to online viewers across the U.K., Europe and Asia following an exclusive deal Wednesday with digital distributor MyVideoRights.com.
The service is kicking off with the run-up to the Nov. 4 election, with the deal partly fueled by what the partners call "the unprecedented interest that the U.K. and Europe have shown in the U.S. presidential election to date."
The Onion News Network, launched in March 2007 as an offshoot of satirical newspaper the Onion, produces footage of current events, both real and imagined, and broadcasts 24/7. It parodies news networks such as CNN and ABC, with much of its humor stemming from interviews and news footage of current events.
Launched by Ashley Mackenzie and Richard Mansell, MyVideoRights.com is backed by Peter Bazalgette, Rupert Dilnott-Cooper and Kelvin Mackenzie.
