More from TheWrap<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSkit\u201d is the feature debut of writer\/directors Badr Mastrouq and Des Lombardo, produced over only eight days with a meager budget of $65,000.

Jamie Linn Watson, Nataly Aukar, Jamie Shapiro, Alise Morales, Lukas Arnold and Jacob Kaplan star in the film.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThe Creator Economy has opened the door for independent voices to find homes on the same platforms as traditional entertainment,\u201d Evan Shapiro said. \u201cThe next stage of the entertainment industry\u2019s revolution is the \u2018Affinity Economy\u2019 where success isn\u2019t just about scale, it\u2019s about depth. True power lies in creators connecting directly with communities, sparking emotion and passion and \u2018Skit\u2019 is a perfect case study in this shift. I\u2019m thrilled to partner with Filmhub and our friends at Tubi to bring it to life.\u201d<\/p>\n A poser for \u201cSkit.\u201d (ESHAP)<\/p>\n \u201cSkit\u201d takes place in 2007, following three female college students trying to gain YouTube virality in the early days of user-generated content on the internet. A plot synopsis from describes the film as \u201ca kooky, relatable coming-of-age farce\u201d made by creators, about creators.<\/p>\n \u201cAs we expand from traditional film and TV to more creator-led content, there\u2019s no better creative partner than Evan and EShap to help chart the course,\u201d Alan d\u2019Escragnolle, CEO and co-founder of Filmhub, said in a statement. \u201cAt Filmhub, we focus on supporting storytellers by ensuring that films like \u2018Skit\u2019 not only get made but also reach the audiences they were created for. Powering the connection between creatives and the audiences who will engage with their stories is an important part of what we do. Our collaboration with Tubi provides exactly that kind of opportunity, giving creator-driven stories the visibility they deserve and the chance to leave a lasting cultural impact.\u201d<\/p>\n Evan Shapiro serves as a producer on the independent project through his production company EShap, as does star (and Evan\u2019s daughter) Jamie Shapiro. Paul Bukoskey, a former intern at EShap, also produces.<\/p>\n \u201cWe wanted to make something that not only reflected the rise of creators but was made by them,\u201d Evan Shapiro added. \u201cI\u2019ve been mentoring the writers and directors since my NYU class, and this is their first feature. I decided to self-finance on a contained budget so that the project had the best chance to make its money back \u2014 because the most powerful statement you can make as an emerging artist is \u2018my first feature made money.\u2019 This film is a collective effort, from my daughter Jamie producing and assembling the cast, to comedians and creators driving both the performances and the audience connection. \u2018Skit\u2019 proves you don\u2019t have to wait to be greenlit. You can build your own community, make your own rules, and defy the gravity of the media apocalypse.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re excited to partner with Filmhub and Evan Shapiro to bring \u2018Skit\u2019 to our Tubi audience of 100 million monthly active users,\u201d Rich Bloom, general manager, creator programs & EVP of business development at Tubi, said. \u201cTubi for Creators is designed to support independent storytellers \u2014 giving them creative freedom and the scale to expand their audiences. Tubi offers a platform where bold, breakthrough work can live alongside iconic movies and TV, making it the ideal home for \u2018Skit\u2019 and its creator-led ensemble.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Evan Shapiro\u2019s Content Creator Comedy \u2018Skit\u2019 Lands November Release at Tubi<\/a> appeared first on TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source ca.news.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cSkit,\u201d a new comedy from producer Evan Shapiro, has secured a Nov. 14 release on Tubi.
