Awards season for web series is in full stride right now, and now that public submissions for the Streamy Awards have closed, attention of show creators has turned to wooing Academy members who will do much of the tough voting for the top honors in web TV. Two independent series teamed up to host an unofficial 'Academy screening' in Hollywood last night, with comedy Blue Movies and drama The Fall of Kaden teeing up on the big screen at Cinespace. Kicking off the evening, Kaden creators Matt Doubler and Adam Leiphart matched up with Blue Movies creator Scott Brown to show a surprise "For Your Consideration" video (above), poking fun at the precarious business of web series. They tapped the omnipresent Shira Lazar to 'host' the video which stars a smattering of each series' lead actors. The screening theater was packed, with scant standing room space in the back.

Sunday night for me always means a chunk of time blocked out for HBO. It's one of the few networks worth shelling out a couple extra bucks a month. It pretty much built its brand on groundbreaking drama—The Wire, The Sopranos, Sex and the City. And for what it's worth, there is no HBO of web series. No one network of premium content that owns drama. The creators of The Fall of Kaden, which premiered online this week, have said they are trying to break that mold. Matt Doubler and Adam Leiphart have a thing for drama and noticed the void of web series drama sites. Through their Tape 6 production company, Doubler and Leiphart said they are looking to stand out as a go-to shop for premium drama. The first episode is mostly setup and lets us meet protagonist Kaden (Leiphart), who is in the midst of a Leaving Las Vegas-style downward spiral.

We screened the teaser trailer for this unsigned web series back at the April Web TV Meetup, and it stood out as one of the best pieces of content no one in the room had even heard of. Flash forward a few months, and The Fall of Kaden, a gritty web drama from creators Matt Doubler and Adam Leiphart, has inked a distribution deal with KoldCast TV. Set to premiere September 8 on the newly redesigned web TV network's site, it is also slated to have its 10 episode first season pushed out through TiVo, iTunes and the Zune marketplace as part of KoldCast's existing distributions deals. As part of the deal, KoldCast will have a 48-hour exclusive on new episodes before wider distribution to sites like blip.tv, Dailymotion and even Hulu later this fall.
