Earth Star Entertainment is a digital media channel based in Hollywood, California. It provides a number of television shows, films, and music productions to audiences in the United States. It focuses on the news and drama genres in terms of content direction. It is accessible online via smartphones, tablets, or computers for a small fee. The company was founded in 1988 when Sherry Jones, an attorney, joined with a local producer to make a short film. Quickly, the team received praise for their work and Disney offered to fund their next project. They accepted, and soon Disney purchased the company. In 2013, the company announced plans to expand to international territories and provide content in over 12 different languages including Spanish, Dutch, and German.
Current titles on the channel include Brisk Town and Harold the Maker. Brisk Town is a show about the reality of the shallow relationships one makes in Hollywood. The movie stars and famous producers that Jamie Young, an actress just starting her career, meets are all out to take advantage of her youth and inexperience. The show debuted in 2014 to positive reviews from critics and audience members. Harold the Maker is a matchmaker who focuses on connecting rich businessmen with attractive young ladies in a relationship that benefits them both. The show is notably honest and originally the network would not allow full names to be allowed on the show as it was a true documentary. Eventually, however, consumer demand grew enough for full rights to be released.
