Studio JMS - What's up?

[Morden]

So, what's the deal with Studio JMS? No updates for ages on their FB-page, the website kind of gone... anyone know anything?

[JoeD80]

I think the website was maintained when Pat Tallman was around. Now with Joe retiring from comics I think most of his updates just come through his personal page.

[Morden]

Still, if he wants to make an impression as a succesfull allround-producer, shouldn't his website at least be kind of representative, and not down? At least it could carry (as well as the dead Studio-JMS-FB-page) a hint like you suggest, that further updates are promoted via his personal FB page. The actual status just feels, I don't know, unprofessionell PR-wise. I mean, the studio is associated with Sense8 fore instance, it doesn't make a good impression right now when someone googles it.

If I google Studio JMS the first result I get is the wikipedia page, which has all the relevant info. So unless someone specifically knew of studiojms.com and tried to visit it and was disappointed there's nothing there, the wiki page is just as good.

I'm not in the business, but my thinking is that anybody wanting to know what his work is like with an eye to hiring him would be more likely to look at IMDb than any website.

Really? I think any professional should have an up to date web presence, generally in the form of a site. Especially if they're a studio focused on licensing and producing new output. Doesn't look particularly good from a personal brand perspective.

I think for this part of the industry, it's probably not necessary,. For instance, I don't see one for Joss Whedon/Mutant Enemy? Again, just my opinion.

Here's what I meant by hypothetical moguls looking at IMDb rather than a website. Here's what you see at the top of JMS' page with IMDb Pro:

Then it continues to past and released works. And while much of it is very out out of date, it reflects work that's been done whether the project ever proceeded or not. Unproduced projects wouldn't have any real presence on a website since there'd be no visuals worth seeing. On IMDb, a studio exec could find out anything they wanted to about any projects they thought relevant.

I agree with Jan.

Completely agree with you.

If You think, NASA tells You the opposite, believe me: this is WRONG.

[B5-Stefan]

Completely agree with you.

Me too

But another thingie...

On the FB-site there is a list about all the "creative partnerships".
Amongst the items you find MTV.COM.
What was/is THAT about??

I think the MTV partnership was initially for Apocalypse Al as a web series, but was subsequently published by Joe's Comics / Image.

Correct. First it was a radio drama for CBC that was recorded but never got aired. Then it was supposed to be a webseries for MTV and they disolved that division so it ended up being the Joe's Comics comic book.

Ah, I see: it's a past partnership.
And thanks for the explanations.
