Internet media is niche media. So you've probably never heard of "Fred," the online actor whose YouTube channel is followed by 1.5 million people. But don't worry: Fred's self-harm-inducing schtick will soon land in a theater near you.
How does an obnoxiously over-the-top kid on digital helium land a feature film deal, as Fred has done, according to a casting call obtained by TubeFilter? By having the most, or now second-most, followers of anyone on Google's video site. And by playing perfectly to Hollywood's fantasy that the branded serials its traditional TV studios specialize in can be profitably replicated online: Fred, you see, earns a reported six figures off this cheaply-produced stuff.
