Today marks the two-year anniversary of the premiere of Streamy Award-winning series Pink and what better way to celebrate than to hear from series creator-director Blake Calhoun? I had the pleasure of interviewing Blake via e-mail to get the lowdown on his past and future projects, his directing process, and insight for those hoping to break into the New Media industry. Tubefilter: You were one of the early creator-directors on the web series scene with Pink in '07. What inspired you to go into the field? Blake Calhoun: I had recently finished directing my third indie feature (an action/thriller called Killing Down) and was developing a new feature - a project in the vein of Boogie Nights about the early 1980s professional wrestling scene - and had hired Mike Maden to write it.

Those of you who think that your life would be much better with the addition of a few female contract killers must wait no longer: Webby-nominated dark action comedy web series Pink is back in action today with the first episode of its third season, titled "Speed Dating Kills 2."

Watch the season 2 trailer for the upcoming web series “Pink” starring Natalie Raitano, Matthew Tompkins and Sheree J. Wilson. Synopsis: Natalie Cross works for the government - any government that pays, that is. Technically, she’s a subcontractor - like Haliburton, only with guns. She gets hired to hunt down scum and dispose of them - and she always gets her man. Always. Natalie loves the color pink. As in, “pink mist” (you can figure that one out). Her prison psychiatrist called her “unstable”. Blame her dad, he was the dangerous one. Old School. Black Ops. And he always wanted a son (that’s why he called her “Nate”). He taught her things like, how to skin a deer and how to fire a rifle. [...]...
