Striking Writers to Produce Web Series

Last month, Duncan Riley got me thinking that striking Hollywood writers would move to online video. Looks like the exodus has begun.
New media studio Worldwide Biggies has plucked three out-of-work writers from the picket lines to produce a new web series called The Void, according to Reuters.
The three writers are Chris DeLuca, who has written for Saturday Night Live; Jonathan Garbus, who has appeared on Late Night With Conan O’Brien; and Dominic Dierkes, who has written for Spike TV. Worldwide Biggies was founded in 2005 by Albie Hecht, former president of Nickelodeon.
Offline video has been losing audiences and advertisers to online video. Now it’s losing writers, too.
