TheLip.TV GIVES ONLINE VIEWERS

ONE OF A KIND ORIGINAL PROGRAMMING

Website Launches Four In-depth Shows

BEVERLY HILLS, CA – While most online web shows have short bursts of info in five and ten minute segments, TheLip.TV has reinvented the ultimate in original programming by creating first rate shows that are only available online.

TheLip.TV believes whole-heartedly that if you build it they will come. The site offers in-depth interview shows with guests who have never done these kinds of interviews ever before anywhere. These shows now have an edge over the online and television programming competition.

Founder, Michael Lustig launched TheLip.TV this past August 2011 and from the start he has basically reinvented what many of stayed away from which is high quality online interview shows. His philosophy is to create top-notch original programming that makes the audience really want to sit up and take notice. “I asked myself the best question to create this new online genre which is why would the audience care?”

TheLip.TV’s first four online shows offer a great selection beginning with: “BYOD” (Bring Your Own Doc) co-hosted by Ondi Timoner, director of “DIG!” “JOIN US” and “WE LIVE IN PUBLIC,” and she’s the only filmmaker to win Grand Jury Prize at Sundance twice, and her co-host Vladimir Radovanov, is an entertainment attorney, and executive producer of “WE LIVE IN PUBLIC.” The show explores documentary filmmakers, aspects of filmmaking, with special guests and a live Q&A– diving deep into creative process and the business realities of producing and distributing films.  Ondi and Vladimir share their insider views, opinions, and personal stories, welcoming audience participation.  BYOD aims to entertain, inform, and elevate documentaries in general by bringing attention to films and filmmakers that deserveexposure.

Then there’s “Media Mayhem” hosted by Allison Hope Weiner. She’s a lawyer and journalist who has covered Hollywood for more than fifteen years. It features behind the scenes of just why certain stories are published, why others are never told and how the conflict between the advertising and editorial sections of a company often determines content. 

“The Wine Down” features all things fermented, distilled, grown, nourished and served with hosts, Sonja Magdevski and Brandon Bartlett. Bartlett is a registered Sommelier with The Court of Master Sommeliers, makes his own wine, and sat on Bon Appetit Magazine’s Tasting Panel. While Magdevski’s winemaking endeavors can be found at: casadumetzwines.com

Finally there’s “The Intentional Parent” explores parenting through dialogue and debate making it an innovative and groundbreaking program. It’s co-hosted by Greg Matuskiewicz and parenting expert and author, Dr. Tina Payne Bryson. It’s a straightforward parenting show that everyone can relate to.

TheLip.TV is rolling out other new series in 2012 and is partnered with Justintv.com, YouTube.com, iTunes and UStream.
