Ryan Bilsborrow-Koo and Zachary Lieberman are the award-winning creators of the online series The West Side. With press from publications such as Newteevee, Spout, The Guardian, and Der Spiegel, The West Side garnered international attention and won the 2008 Webby Award for Best Drama Series. The series was written, directed, produced, shot, edited, and designed by Bilsborrow-Koo and Lieberman, who were named two of Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film; the magazine heralded The West Side as “ingenious low-budget independent filmmaking that just happens to be viewable only on the Web.” The West Side and an accompanying production blog are available at http://thewestside.tv.
With professional backgrounds in film production, graphic design, and web development, Bilsborrow-Koo and Lieberman have also been involved in the design and development of numerous high-profile MTV online video projects. These include a personalized music video recommendation portal, a bleeding-edge multi-angle online concert series, and an MTV News interview franchise.
