Jean Hu Executive Producer
Jean Hu is one of the executive producers of the internet web show The All for Nots. Along with Steve Cohen, he was responsible for the overall production, but didn’t get involved in the film making process. He mostly watched the legal and business aspects of the production.
Jean Hu worked at all 12 episodes of the show. Because it is not unusual for TV shows, even internet TV shows, to have two or even three executive producers, Jean Hu works with Steve Cohen. One is a traditional EP, meaning a traditional executive producer, while the other is called a show runner. They can exchange tasks, or share the responsibilities of the head writer.
The All for Nots show episodes are about an indie band and its adventures and struggles on their way to success. The producers of the online show have labeled it as comedy and a documentary. Its tag line is that the band will take over the internet and the world if they’re careful enough not to run out of gas. The show has 12 episodes, each one with a different plot and new funny moments. The show also has some documentary features, especially the raw, uncut footage from behind the scenes of the band’s concerts. The show is produced by Dinosaur Diorama, an online production company, and can be viewed online through cable or satellite HDNet.
All for Nots online episodes are popular on the web because the band has numerous fans on Myspace. The targeted audience for the show is 14-24 years old. The music is catchy and the band mixes humorous situations with real life struggles. For example, in one of the episodes the band decides to attend a hippie festival because they want to find a hippie inspiration for their music. Other episodes focus on the financial struggles of the band as they continue to run independently and record whenever and wherever they can. The show succeeds in maintaining an optimistic voice, despite disturbing experiences like drug dealing and job loss.
