What's Up This Month

For the January edition of the Hollywood Web Television Meetup, we are proud to present a very special evening with popular internet culture show EPIC FU as they launch the new EPIC FU network. Join us as we screen the premiere of one of the web's most revered and award-winning series, followed by an intimate discussion with its creators—Zadi Diaz and Steve Woolf. The evening is sponsored by HP and Intel, who will be onhand to give away a free HP Envy laptop and a free HP DreamScreen for Meetup attendees. This is definitely a night not to be missed!

For over three years, EPIC FU has been the premiere web show about emerging culture, covering the people and ideas leading the Internet revolution. Countless artists covered on the show have gone on to mainstream success, positioning EPIC FU as a top tastemaker and one of the pioneering examples of building a global community around an entertainment property. With 150+ episodes and 35 million views from over 100 countries, EPIC FU returns for its sixth season on January 21 after a long hiatus. With this iteration, the venerable weekly show transforms into multiple shows focused on how web culture affects music and film, with a new blog network featuring daily fresh content. EPIC FU has won two Webby Awards and a Streamy Award, and remains independently owned and produced by Zadi Diaz and Steve Woolf.
