Made in Berlin - Behind the Scenes web series

It's Berlinale time!
Berlin hosts film professionals from all over the world at the moment. Therefore, I decided to present a German web series today which is set in the German capital.

It's called Made in Berlin and is about five creative people with different backgrounds, from different cultures, who come together in Berlin in order to produce a theater play.
Have you ever wondered what it takes to bring a play alive on stage? Look no further, but check out episode 1 of this behind the scenes web series:

House of Cards - Netflix's first original series

Netflix's first original series started this month. Beau Willimon, who also wrote The Ides of March, has developed House of Cards specifically for the American streaming network Netflix.

The political drama series which is directed by David Fincher, is about ruthless and cunning, Congressman Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey) and his wife Claire (Robin Wright) who stop at nothing to conquer everything. It penetrates the shadowy world of greed, sex, and corruption in modern D.C.

Here is the trailer:

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said in an interview that they released all episodes of its first season on the same day, because they have learnt from their data that their viewers prefer to watch the whole season within 24 hours. No commercials, no waiting. Enjoy the future of TV drama series!
