About Us
Overlook, LLC creates TV channels that deliver niche content via the Internet. With a "smart" TV or another Internet-connected television device, a viewer can enjoy our video programming at any time of day. Our partners distribute their catalogs of films, documentaries and other productions to this new, rapidly-growing audience and tap a whole new revenue source by doing so.
According to the researcher NPD In-Stat, 25 million U.S. households own a TV with built-in Internet capability. In-Stat predicts that 100 million homes in North America and Western Europe will have televisions that blend traditional programs with Internet content by 2016.
We already have three live implementations. Creepster.TV offers a large catalog of classic/retro horror, science fiction, crime and film noir content. WushuMaster provides world-class martial arts training videos. America's Wars offers an exclusive catalog of documentary and official footage covering all of America's major military conflicts. Creepster is live on virtually all major Over-the-Top (OTT) TV platforms, and America's Wars is live on the Web and Roku media players.
