The Vision

THE CONSTELLATION OF COLLYWOOD

It is a remarkably clear night. The sky is alive with a panorama of sparkling stars that stretch from horizon to horizon. Searching the skies in the direction of the Planet Pluto, a constellation of stars reveals the faint outline of what looks very much like a dog. This is the constellation of Collywood and each star represents the many worlds of Collywood.

Look, up in the sky, it's a web site, it's a TV show, it's a comic strip, it's a book, it's a game, it's an entire network…its Collywood. Move over Harry Potter and make room for the next multi-media phenomenon. The world is going to the dogs and you don't have to be one of the 38% of all households in the United States that are dog owners, to be completely enamored by this "all dog, all the time" entertainment product.

The Concept

It has gone way past the idea stage. The Collywood concept has been completely packaged in a dynamic web site. Only on the Internet can you fully explore the total Collywood experience. The stories, the history, the politics, the biographies of its citizens are detailed this unique and entertaining web site.
The site is the center of our universe. It will interact with our television shows, our computer games, our publishing wing with its comic books, strips and graphic novels, our "Hound of Music" record label, and our syndication, merchandising and licensing efforts. There are huge markets out there that Collywood is about to take a big bite out of.

Collywood…the Television Series

Introducing the virtual world of Rod Weiler, Private Eye Dog. His turf is Collywood. Not the Collywood that the big movie mongrels made famous, this is the seamy, dog-eat-dog side of Collywood. Rod's adventures bring back the romance and suspense of the hard-bitten, hard-drinking, hard-loving private eye. It's a world of seductive clients, glamorous movie stars, really bad dogs and a colorful cast of characters down at Scotties Bar & Grr-ill. A total cast of over 30 leading and featured players that live and play in this virtual world of Collywood.

Collywood…the Cable Network

Rod Weiler and his friends are a compelling and provocative source of entertainment with real icon potential. But Collywood has many other wonderful characters many of which could star in their own television series. The volume of ideas that are part of the WOOF programming is an indication that there is enough material to justify an entire cable network devoted completely to our canine friends. In addition to the 17 original programs planned for WOOF, the Collywood Cable Network would also include a library of old films and television series with dog related themes.

Collywood…the Publishing Company

Graphic Novels
These are heady days for fans of American literary comics. Comics in hard covers are being issued by mainstream publishers and are appearing in the Graphic Novel section in Borders and Barnes & Noble. This bodes very well for Collywood with its satirical, socially-relevant content which fits right into the comics-as-literature movement. Collywood is unique in that it is not just another dogs-in-tights striving to save the planet from destruction. There is plentiful, socially relevant material that parody's human experience in a way that is worth taking seriously.

Comic Books and Strips
Comics aren't just for kids. Collywood and specifically Rod Weiler's GRR adventures will appeal to a wide demographic on the colorful Sunday comic pages and black/white weekday pages. Also take into consideration that there is a work-load economy in being able to use graphics created for the Internet episodes.

Newshound Letters
By special subscription, Collywood will be distributing an electronic newsletter produced in partnership with the Daily Barker, Collywood's acclaimed news resource. Subject matter will be similar in content found on www.collywood.com, but will be more current in satirizing late breaking news.

The Hound of Music Record Label
When a visitor stops by at Scotties Bar & Grr-ill on the web, they will be introduced to "Open Mike Night" at Scotties, an entertainment vehicle that features originally produced music performed by Collywood's finest. The best of the songs will be published and released on the Hound of Music label. Also to be produced under the same label will be audio tapes of Rod Weiler adventures and other recorded Collywood features.

PC and Interactive Games

Collywood's Amusement Barkade is now open and providing hours of fun for our fans. Collywood's provocative content will provide a rich reservoir of material for creating both PC games and Interactive video games. Collywood.com has started the ball rolling with 6 new games and will also be partnering with game developers to create interactive video games.

Licensing

Collywood and its many characters and features have great potential in the world of licensing. Offering the Collywood name and logo to companies in multiple categories that meet our criteria, presents Collywood with huge revenue opportunities. Characters like Rod Weiler have strong icon appeal and by optimizing visitors to the web site and exposing Collywood in various multi-media should create a big demand for its name and logos.
