Ze Frank Goes To Hollywood

Spencer Morgan’s New York Observer article on internet video star Ze Frank is highly informative.

Here’s some of what I learned by reading the piece:

• Mr. Frank has high powered Hollywood agents and will soon have a deal.
• United Talent Agency owner Nick Stevens said to him, “We’ll do this, we’ll do that, we’ll pump that area.”
• DreamWorks is laden with waterfalls and free ice cream.
• In March of 2001, Mr. Frank was an art director at Dennis Interactive.
• Mr. Frank studied neuroscience at Brown.
• His college band was called Dowdy Smack.
• 25,000 to 30,000 people watch his online show each day.
• The ad space at the top of zefrank.com goes for $900 a week. The ads that run at the end of his videos go for 30 cents per click.
• Ze Frank’s real first name is Hosea.
