Hey guys,

Ladies and Gentlemen…This episode of Couch Crashers has The Mansion, The Bunnies, The White Tie Affair and of course, The Bushmills…Watch it when you have a chance.

In this episode, watch as Alana, Jesse and Kellene go through a challenge like no other. First they soar to new heights at IFly, then they swim to new depths in an underwater obstacle course. Nothing can prepare you for what happens after that. You’ll have to keep watching, Tressed to Impress.

Watch as Alana, Jesse and Kellene compete in their first challenge.  A real photoshoot for Glamour magazines May issue!

If you like fabulous hair and fierce competition… then check out Tressed to Impress on Glamour.tv .  It’s a new online reality series we produced for Herbal Essences in conjunction with Glamour Magazine. The first episode just went live. New episodes will air every Monday at 12 PM ET.

Take look at the clip below.  It’s a highlight reel of some projects we worked on here at Diligent.  Although it could use a little updating, we still think it shows some of our capabilities.  What do you think?

Diligent Co-Founder, Gabriel Landau, is speaking on March 24th at the Nxt Stage Conference in Los Angeles, CA.  NXT STAGE Online & Mobile Entertainment Conference is an industry conference targeting specifically pre and post-production executives as well as programming executives from the film/tv production sector. The premise of the conference is that there are significant number of trade shows/conferences that address the commercial and technical aspects of the content markets yet very few that focus on the creative/production aspects. When you think about other digital media conferences and the number of panels that are dedicated to the pure logistics of ad serving! As a result, while the business models and technologies have rapidly evolved, the creative process has been left lagging behind. The writers, producers and proramming executives have not been told that they, too, are stakeholders in this new digital world. This is the opportunity for the platform solution providers and the distributors to bring the creative production community into our evolving digital world.

Here’s some information on the panel that Gabriel will be on:
