A short history of the failure of Pop.com, a project by Dreamworks and Imagine Entertainment which was supposed to stream short films in 2000, long before YouTube.

It had huge stars on board.

But it was supposed to be Dreamworks-only content and people were too busy to deliver. Later on they decided to accept short films from aspiring filmmakers.

Then the dot com bubble burst and they couldn’t raise more money.

They wanted to collaborate with AtomFilms, who were not interested and finally it was shut down.

About the author

Woitek Konzal

Producer, Consultant, Lecturer & Researcher. I love working where technology meets media in novel ways. Once, I even won an Emmy for digital innovation doing that. Be it for a small but exciting campaign about underground electronic music collectives or for a monster project combining two movies, various 360° videos, 72 ARG-like mini puzzles, and a Unity game, all wrapped up in one cross-platform app – I have proven my ability to adapt to what is required. This passion for novel technologies has regularly allowed me to cross paths with tech startups – an industry and philosophy I am all set to engage with more. I intensely enjoy balancing out my practical work with academic research, teaching, and consulting. Also, I have a PhD in Creative Industries, a M.Sc. in Business Administration, and love to kitesurf.
