) . these three rivers join the peace river to form the slave river . mamawi lake , to the west of lake athabasca , is also drained by chenal des quatre fourches . the volume of water leaving lake athabasca via rivière des rochers , revillon coupé and chenal des quatre fourches is partly dependent on the water level in the peace river . the predominant direction of streamflow in the three channels is northward , toward the peace river (
the mean annual inflow to lake athabasca and the delta system is estimated to be 45 , 900 x 10 6 m 3 of water ( table 1 ) . a major portion of the inflow enters the lake and delta during the period from april to mid - july . the largest portion of the total inflow ( 53 % ) reaches the lake and delta system via the athabasca river and its tributaries ( figure 1 ) . the river enters lake athabasca through a system of channels that cut through the athabasca delta : the embarras river , fletcher channel , goose island channel and big point channel ( figure 2 ) . because the athabasca river flows into lake athabasca near the outlet , water from the river tends to flow through the west end of the lake quite directly , without substantial mixing with water in the main part of the lake . inflowing water from the river usually is restricted to an area that reaches about 8 km offshore of the delta . during periods of high inflow combined with strong westerly winds , however , athabasca river water can flow east as far as bustard island ( neill et al . 1981 ) , and has been reported to extend well into saskatchewan ( rawson 1947 [ a ] ) .

the north and south shores of lake athabasca are strikingly different . to the north lies rough , rocky precambrian shield , whereas to the south lies an extensive area of sand dunes ( mrbc 1981 ) . the dunes formed after proglacial lakes drained , when newly exposed sediments were subjected to intense wind storms ( bayrock and root 1973 ) . this activity formed dunes along the athabasca river , in the lowlands west of lake claire and along the south shore of lake athabasca . as well , the william , mcfarlane and archibald rivers deposit large amounts of sand at their mouths , contributing to the beaches along the south shore of the lake .

it is not possible to properly categorize the trophic status of lake athabasca because the lake has not been sampled sufficiently . low concentrations of total phosphorus ( 9 to 14 mg / l ) and moderately high secchi transparencies ( 3 . 8 to 4 . 8 m ) were recorded in single samples from the main part of the alberta side of the lake in july 1987 and august 1988 (

lake athabasca ' s second largest water source is the fond du lac river , which provides approximately 21 % of the total inflow to the lake and delta region ( neil ) et al . 1981 ) . this river drains wollaston lake , saskatchewan and a large area of precambrian shield in the eastern part of the drainage basin ( figure 1 ) . wollaston lake has two outlets ; about 10 % of its outflow enters the fond du lac river and the remainder discharges into the cochrane river ( mrbc 1981 ) . the fond du lac river flows into fond du lac and then into the narrow eastern end of lake athabasca ( figure 2 ) . along the north and south shores , dozens of other streams flow into the lake . inflows to the south side of the lake and delta , such as the richardson , maybelle , old fort , william and mcfarlane rivers , provide less than 6 % of the total inflow , and the birch river system , which flows through lakes claire and mamawi into the western side of lake athabasca , provides less than 3 % . part of the time , flow from the birch river system bypasses lake athabasca and flows north to the peace river . miscellaneous inflows and direct runoff from the catchment area provide the final 18 % of the total inflow ( neill and evans 1979 ) .
in the decades around the turn of the twentieth century , significant attention was paid to the development of the railroad infrastructure of the canadian west , notably the branch line network in what would become the province of alberta . the edmonton & slave lake railway ( e & slr ) was chartered in 1899 to reach slave lake via athabasca landing , which was a riverboat transportation hub on the athabasca river .
it is noted that the road to lesser slave lake had been improved by the territorial government during 1899 .
) . thus , the pattern observed at namur lake is generally consistent with our other five study lakes .
the name athabasca comes from the cree word for the lake , athapiscow , describing an open area ( such as a lake or swamp ) where reeds , willows and grasses grow . in addition to the cree , beaver and chipewyan first nations have lived in the area for more than 2 , 000 years .
the peace - athabasca delta and lake athabasca are very different environments , yet they are closely related because the delta and its associated channels and lakes are important spawning and nursery areas for lake athabasca fish . comprehensive surveys of the delta region and lake athabasca have not been carried out . in the 1940s , researchers from the university of saskatchewan examined the zooplankton at 18 stations in the lake but did not examine the species composition ( rawson 1947 [ a ] ) . as well , 214 bottom samples were taken with an ekman dredge , primarily in the profundal zone ( larkin 1947 ) . the amphipod pontoporeia affinis was the dominant benthic organism collected and the opossum shrimp mysis relicta was rare . even in water 0 - to 5 - m deep , pontoporeia formed as much as 45 % of the benthic biomass .
the lake athabasca sand dunes , the largest active sand dunes in the world north of 58° , are adjacent to the southern shore . the dunes were designated a

in the lesser slave lake area it is generally noted that there was a decided change for the better in transportation to lesser slave lake from athabasca landing , and that the old and time - honoured scows with their crews had almost entirely given way to steamers . in july the ss northern light made her first trip on lesser slave lake and plied from end to end almost weekly . mail facilities were much improved and it was now a comparatively easy matter to get mail from lesser slave lake to athabasca landing , the nearest telegraph station , a distance of about 200 miles . navigation on the peace and athabasca rivers was general during most of the summer . the steamer peace river made three trips between the chutes and fort st . john , and on the athabasca river the large steamer midnight sun connected with the northern light .

l ake athabasca drains an enormous area of land ( 282 , 000 km 2 , table 1 ) that extends southwest across the width of alberta to the columbia icefield in the rocky mountains , and east across most of northern saskatchewan to wollaston lake ( figure 1 ) . the peace - athabasca delta , which is one of the world ' s largest freshwater deltas , plays an important role in lake athabasca ' s complex drainage system . the delta region consists of three smaller deltas : the athabasca ( 1 , 960 km 2 ) , the peace ( 1 , 680 km 2 ) and the birch ( 168 km 2 ) . its major lakes - claire , baril , mamawi and richardson - are all very shallow ( padpg 1973 ) . river channels that meander across the delta join the major lakes to lake athabasca and drain upland areas .

in the late 1800s athabasca landing was established at the elbow of the athabasca river where it sweeps south and reaches within one hundred miles or 160 kilometres of edmonton . between the years 1880 and 1914 , athabasca landing , as the town of athabasca was then called , became known as the
gateway to the north ,
a jumping off point for travelers to the peace river country and for traders heading north on the athabasca river to the arctic . the landing was a meeting place of first nations , métis , and europeans , and athabasca landing gained the national stage by 1900—as the key transportation centre linking the hudson ' s bay company and other independent traders to canada’s northwest and the arctic . the landing trail , one of alberta’s first highways , linked fort edmonton and the young city of edmonton to athabasca landing and the athabasca river .

the name in the dene language originally referred only to the large delta formed by the confluence of the athabasca river at the southwest corner of the lake . prior to 1789 , sir alexander mackenzie explored the lake . in 1791 , philip turnor , cartographer for the hudson’s bay company , wrote in his journal ,
low swampy ground on the south side with a few willows growing upon it , from which the lake in general takes its name athapison in the southern cree tongue which signifies open country such as lakes with willows and grass growing about them
. peter fidler originally recorded the name for the river in 1790 as the great arabuska . by 1801 , the name had gained a closer spelling to the current name—athapaskow lake . by 1820 , george simpson referred to both the lake and the river as
athabasca

l ake athabasca covers an area of approximately 7 , 770 km 2 ( table 2 ) . a bathymetric map is not available , but soundings have been made for navigation routes ( figure 2 ) . the lake is shallowest on the alberta side , where the maximum depth is 16 m . the shallow depths and gradual slope of the lake bottom at the western end probably result from sedimentation of the athabasca river inflow . the central portion of the lake , between camsell portage on the north shore and the william river inlet , is the deepest part , with a maximum depth of 124 m near easter headland . east of crackingstone peninsula , the lake becomes shallower again , with a maximum depth of about 46 m . lake athabasca becomes increasingly narrow at its eastern end ; soundings east of fond - du - lac indicated depths of 29 to 50 m in the centre of the narrow basin . there are dozens of islands throughout the lake . the islands that extend from fort chipewyan to the old fort river were formed as a result of wave action ( mrbc 1981 ) .

but even on a shore so apparently pristine , we’ve noticed plastic bottles , broken glass , styrofoam , fish hooks , sheets of plywood and chunks of metal . more worrying , the lake is fed by the athabasca river — which means it lies downstream from the massive oil - sands projects in northern alberta . since 1970 , the amount of water flowing through the river has dropped considerably . what impact all this will have on the wildlife in and around lake athabasca remains unclear .
dissolved pac did not persist as far as the athabasca river delta and ft . chipewyan , at least during the seasons sampled . however , pac - contaminated sediments in the athabasca delta and lake athabasca ( 35 , 36 ) are consistent with long - range atmospheric and fluvial transport of particulate pac . our sampling did not include the intervening spring snowmelt , which would release a pulse of pac up to 50 km from oil sands upgrading facilities into nearby tributaries and the athabasca . although this should increase pac concentrations in tributaries , it might not be detected in the main stem because of high - volume dilution by uncontaminated snowmelt from areas upstream of oil sands mining . pac may also be removed from the water column by microbial degradation and adsorption to organic matter that settles out of the water column ( 37 ) . these dilution and removal processes likely account for declining concentrations of dissolved pac as the athabasca flows to lake athabasca and fort chipewyan .
based on analyses of lake sediment cores , we provide evidence that the athabasca delta has been a natural repository of pacs carried by the athabasca river for at least the past two centuries . we detect no measureable increase in the concentration and proportion of river - transported bitumen - associated indicator pacs in sediments deposited in a flood - prone lake since onset of oil sands development . results also reveal no evidence that industrial activity has contributed measurably to sedimentary concentration of pacs supplied by atmospheric transport .

our most famous sand dunes are the athabasca sand dunes located in the far reaches of the northwest corner of the province on the shores of the mighty lake athabasca . a fun fact about these dunes is they are the world’s most northerly active sand dunes . they can only be accessed by plane or boat making it quite the adventure to set foot on them .

despite these challenges to data collection , recent studies show a direct correlation between the oil sands and increased pollution in lake athabasca . for example , a 2010 study revealed an increase in priority pollutants ( i . e . elements named by the us environmental protection agency’s clean water act ) to the athabasca river and its tributaries . similarly , a 2013 study demonstrated an increase in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ( pahs ) in lake ecosystems in the athabasca oil sands region . pahs are groupings of chemicals caused when fossil fuels and biomass are incompletely burned . they are of concern because they stay in the environment for long periods of time and do not break down easily in water . much attention was brought to the possible results of these pollutants when , in 2010 , scientists at the university of alberta showed the public deformed fish caught in water around the oil sands , including lake athabasca .
) , leave little doubt of the unprecedented increases of pahs and the overarching influences of recent climatic changes on northeastern alberta’s lake ecosystems .

l ake athabasca is canada ' s eighth largest lake . the area near the lake supports a wealth of fur - bearing animals , small and large game , dense flocks of waterfowl , and an abundance of fish . these rich resources drew indians and , later , fur traders to the area . the lake was very important during the fur - trade era and , for a time , it became the centre of conflict between the hudson ' s bay company and the north west company . the peace - athabasca delta , located at the southwest end of the lake , is one of north america ' s major wetlands , and ranks as one of the most biologically productive areas in the world . it is internationally recognized for its importance as a waterfowl production and staging area .

the zooplankton and benthic fauna of the delta were investigated by researchers from the university of alberta in 1971 ( gallup et al . 1971 ) . the zooplankton was sampled by single horizontal tows at various locations in the delta and was also collected from two sites in the main part of lake athabasca . in the lake , the most abundant cladocerans were daphnia pulex and bosmina longirostris and the most abundant copepods were epischura nevadensis , unidentified diaptomus copepodites and unidentified cyclops copepodites . in the lakes and channels of the delta , large daphnids ( daphnia , d . magna and d . retrocurva ) were quite abundant , as was the copepod epischura nevadensis . diacyclops bicuspidatus thomasi , which is the intermediate host for the tapeworm triaenophorus crassus , was only locally abundant in the delta . it is likely , however , to be abundant in lake athabasca as well , since many lake whitefish and cisco in the lake are infected by t . crassus cysts .
r esearchers from the university of saskatchewan studied the water quality in lake athabasca during the late 1940s ( rawson 1947 [ a ] ; 1960 ) . more recently , alberta environment occasionally sampled water quality from several sites on the alberta section of the lake in 1979 , 1980 , 1987 and 1988 ( alta . envir . n . d .

we conducted an independent , detailed , and accessible assessment of the loadings of polycyclic aromatic compounds ( pac ) to the north - flowing athabasca river , its tributaries , the athabasca delta , and lake athabasca ( fig . 1 ) . in february to march and june to august 2008 , we sampled water using polyethylene membrane devices ( pmds ) . in march , the accumulated snowpack was sampled at most sites . athabasca river sites were selected upstream and downstream of oil sands mining and processing activity . upstream and downstream sites near oil sands development are directly exposed to erosion of the mcmurray geologic formation ( mcmf ) , where most oil sands occur ( 13 ) .
approximately 30 % of lake athabasca lies within alberta and the remainder is located in saskatchewan . the southwest tip of the lake is situated about 210 km north of the city of fort mcmurray . lake athabasca is not easily accessible by road . from the south , highway 63 extends from fort mcmurray to the hamlet of fort mckay , and a winter road extends from fort mckay to the hamlet of fort chipewyan , located on the north shore at the west end of lake athabasca ( figure 1 ) . from the north , an improved road extends from the town of fort smith , located just north of the border of alberta and the northwest territories , to the locality of peace point , situated on the peace river north of lake claire . from peace point southeast to fort chipewyan , the road is classed as a winter road . airports or airstrips are located in fort smith , northwest territories , in fort chipewyan , alberta , and in stony rapids and uranium city , saskatchewan . aircraft can also land on the water at the locations above , as well as at fond - du - lac , saskatchewan .

the athabasca public school was built in 1913 during a wave of optimism that swept the town of athabasca as well as other small western towns . athabasca had long been the gateway to the north , and recent railway and other development in the area suggested the town was poised on the brink of rapid population and economic growth . it is one of the best examples of buildings constructed during the pre - war boom existing in the town , and one of just a handful that remain . it was the centre of education from 1913 to the 1950s . this building displays the most impressive architectural features of any brick building in athabasca . the school is one of the most recognizable landmarks in athabasca .

the athabasca sub - basin is rich in nonrenewable and renewable resources , which are extracted and / or exploited by various industries . the conventional oil and gas industry is active in many parts of the basin , and significant oil sands development occurs in the area north of fort mcmurray . coal is mined in the upper reaches of the athabasca sub - basin near hinton and edson . forestry is a major industrial activity in much of the basin . the forests of the sub - basin support several sawmills and panel board factories , as well as four pulp mills and one newsprint mill . agriculture is an important land use in the pembina river watershed and accounts for about 12 % of the total area of the sub - basin . commercial fishing and trapping also occur in the athabasca sub - basin . until recently , uranium mining was an important industry in the athabasca sub - basin , at cluff lake in northern saskatchewan , and in earlier times , in the area north of lake athabasca . the cluff lake mine closed in 2002 and has now entered the decommissioning phase . mining in the beaverlodge area ended in 1982 . new mines are being proposed for the watershed .
the railroad station in athabasca was built in 1912 according to the cnor standard plan no . 100 - 39 . the interior of the athabasca station was simple and did not feature any specialized passenger waiting areas or dining rooms and had smaller baggage storage capacity . regardless of being scaled down , the station in athabasca was still substantial , befitting a large community on what was originally expected to be an important rail transportation corridor .

perhaps his one truly original piece of exploration was a harrowing 1796 journey for the hudson’s bay company , in which he traced the length of the fond du lac river , from wollaston lake to the east end of lake athabasca ( in present - day northeast saskatchewan ) , attempting to open a route to the fur riches of the subarctic ; yet this was an utterly fruitless venture , the way so impractical that it would not be travelled again until almost a century had passed .
findings suggest that natural erosion of exposed bitumen in banks of the athabasca river and its tributaries is a major process delivering pacs to the athabasca delta , and the spring freshet is a key period for contaminant mobilization and transport . this baseline environmental information is essential for informed management of natural resources and human - health concerns by provincial and federal regulatory agencies and industry , and for designing effective long - term monitoring programs for the lower athabasca river watershed .

the first project is actually an expansion of hooq and globe studios ' previously announced debut original series , on the job , from filipino filmmaker erik matti . at apos , hooq revealed that the first episode of the five - episode show , a gritty crime thriller loosely based on matti ' s 2013 critically acclaimed film of the same name , will now be a feature - length film . hooq plans to screen the film theatrically in the philippines in august ; six weeks later , the film and the additional episodes of the first season will be streamed on the company ' s platform .

hollywood investors including sony and warner bros . are also both on board hooq , an ott proposition launched by singapore telco singtel . following a launch in the philippines , it is now operational in india and thailand .
with over 35 , 000 hours of hollywood , regional and filipino movies and tv shows made available to every filipino through any smart device , hooq has become an integral part of the pinoy tech and entertainment driven lifestyle .
at the recent asia pacific operators summit ( apos ) in bali , singapore - based hooq , which is backed by sony and warner bros , unveiled a slate of five originals – including three movies and two series .
marlina , a co - production between cinesurya and kaninga pictures , sasha and co production , astro shaw , hooq and purin pictures , was just selected to screen in the directors ' fortnight sidebar at the cannes film festival in may . it tells the story of a young widow of the indonesian hills who is attacked and robbed by a group of local men , before ultimately exacting revenge on the entire gang . marlina is targeted to screen theatrically and on hooq toward the end of 2017 .

a second project from the philippines is ‘the t party , ’ an 8 - part rom com series built around a fictional online dating app . set to debut directly on hooq at the end of the year , it includes directors joyce bernal and marvin agustin .
a hooq original has to be edgy and push the envelope on the conventional boundaries of asian television . so if your concept is something that a free - to - air broadcaster would love , it’s probably too safe to be a hooq original . we’re looking for relatable , compelling stories and characters that speak to the audiences in your home country , a series that everyone would love to watch , but no one dares to make . we want to tell the stories that need to be told but haven’t found the right home yet .
indonesia – hooq , the largest video on demand service in south - east asia , will be doubling down on local asian stories , making a bold move into original content across the region . hooq will be announcing five all new asian originals , adding to its already comprehensive asian catalogue . these five new projects , which will be announced at apos this week , from across the region and take the form of 3 movies , a multi - episode series along with 5 pilots . the projects also transcend genre with romance , comedy and drama .
hooq , the asian streaming video platform backed by two hollywood studios , is expanding a drive into local content production . among its newest titles is “ marlina the murderer in four acts , ” which will play next month in the directors fortnight section of the cannes film festival .
initially a startup venture of singtel , warner bros . entertainment , and sony pictures television , which was launched first in the philippines , before its expansion to thailand and india , hooq has now over 35 , 000 hours of hollywood , regional , and filipino movies and tv shows .
the local content strategy was given a further boost this week . at the apos convention in indonesia , hooq launched a film competition , the hooq filmmakers guild . after a call for series or mini - series pitches , the company will shortlist five projects to be made as $ 30 , 000 pilots that will air online . the one that subscribers vote as the best will be made as a full series . applications can be made until august , with the competition to film makers from singapore , thailand , indonesia , india , philippines , vietnam , malaysia and cambodia .
now , hooq —best known for their lineup of tv shows from dc and the upcoming on the job series—is making things a lot easier for you . the streaming site has just launched their new transactional video on the demand feature that lets you rent movies for as low as p125 each .
a startup joint venture established in january 2015 by singtel , sony pictures television and warner bros . , hooq currently operates in the philippines , singapore , thailand , india and indonesia . the service delivers approximately 35 , 000 hours of hollywood films and popular local movies and tv series to customers in the region .
kapoor , a former dishtv coo who has also worked with lg and microsoft , says hooq in india has been focusing on building partnerships to bring a robust offering to users , and it ' s only now in a position where it ' s going to start marketing itself heavily and will try to accelerate user acquisition .
sweet 20 follows a 70 - year - old grandmother , who is transported back to her youth as a lively 20 - year - old and becomes a star . the property was previously adapted in vietnam and became a local box - office phenomenon . hooq ' s version will hit screens big and small in june .
hooq previously announced that its producing a miniseries based on filipino director erik matti’s award - winning feature on the job ( pictured ) , which screened in directors fortnight at the cannes film festival in 2013 . during apos , the streaming platform said the pilot episode of that series will be released as a feature film in august .
hooq , the asian streaming video platform backed by two hollywood studios , is expanding a drive into local content production . among its newest titles is “marlina the murderer in four acts , ” which will play next month in the directors fortnight section of the cannes film festival . “marlina” is directed by mouly surya , a musician and film maker [ … ]
the selected intern ( s ) will work on following during the internship : 1 . to manage the retail program that we will run with our partners and for our ott product . 2 . ereach out to consumers and get the hooq service activated on the user mobile 3 . will be required to run this program end to end for 2 months to deliver performance
hooq launched in india in may 2015 with over 15 , 000 films and a strong focus on hollywood content , but also formed tie - ups with indian content providers including yash raj films , rajshree , and disney - utv . it was priced at a competitive rs . 199 per month and included features such as offline mode , clearly aimed at markets like india .
hooq subscribers get access to one transactional video on the demand ( tvod ) movie of their choice every month , and any additional rental will be the usual price . the films will be some of the freshest picks from the biggest hollywood studios , including disney , sony pictures , warner bros . , and dreamworks , and best of all : their lineup will change every month !
a second filipino series has been given the working title the t party . a romantic comedy , the eight - episode show centers on the online dating world . directed by joyce bernal , as well as marvin agustin in his directorial debut , each episode
will revolve around intertwining stories based on finding love ( or otherwise ) through a popular dating app ,
says hooq .
telcos are looking at video streaming today , the device guys are looking at video streaming , the tv channels are also waking up to it - it ' s a very different world from what it was a year ago ,
says salil kapoor , the india head for video on demand service hooq , a joint venture between sony pictures television , warner bros , and singtel .
for a 30 - day free trial , sign up today on urltoken . globe customers can get up to 45 days of free trial with globe gosurf 99 and below for prepaid customers , and up to 90 days of free trial for prepaid and postpaid customers availing of gosurf 299 and up . broadband customers can also get hooq for free on globe home broadband plan 1299 and up .
the market has gotten crowded , and hooq ' s kapoor believes that this is not going to last .
things are definitely going to shake up , and there are different approaches being taken ,
says kapoor .
some players are focusing on their own original content , others are trying to secure exclusive content . it leads to a very fragmented market and that won ' t last .
he ' s also of the opinion that original content isn ' t necessarily worth it for a company like hooq .
the cost of making english shows is really high , so unless you have a big global audience , with a lot of users in the us , it isn ' t really worth the money ,
he says .
but yes , we are considering hindi and other regional languages .
for hooq , the south indian languages are a particular area of focus , because kapoor says streaming is much more common in the region .
once you take out the top cities - delhi , mumbai , bengaluru , chennai , these have the biggest audience of course - but if you look at the rest of the country without these cities , then the consumption of our services is highest in the four south indian states ,
he explains .
another finished picture is “critical eleven , ” an adaptation of ika natassa’s best - selling indonesian romantic drama “ada apa degan cinta ? ” the film title is derived from an aviation term referring to the most dangerous periods of an airplane flight , and the story starts with a chance encounter on a plane . it is directed by monty tiwa and made as a co - production between starvision , servia plus , legacy pictures , hooq and telkomsel . it debuts in indonesian cinemas from may 10 .
a co - production between starvision , servia plus , legacy pictures , hooq and telkomsel , critical eleven stars citra award winner , reza rahadian and adinia wirasti from ada apa degan cinta ? the film takes its title from the aviation term referring to the crucial 11 minutes during take - off and landing , when 80 percent of air accidents occur , and applies the idea to the beginning and end of a romantic first meeting . the film will open in indonesia and begin streaming may 10 .
we worked on the ui and ux , and we did a lot of customisation , so one of the things that we did for localisation was to add support for carrier billing and for the mobile wallets ,
says kapoor .
we also formed partnerships with vodafone , and with airtel , to give their users free access to hooq . we did the same with chromecast users , and we ' re looking at tying up with broadband providers next , because that ' s where a lot of people will make use of this as well .
the company does not disclose its metrics , but describes itself as the largest video - on - demand service in south east asia . acquired and original local content is viewed as key to attracting and retaining subscribers in the region , and gives local players the chance to gain traction while global giants amazon and netflix are still relatively week in se asia . adding to the company’s proposition , hooq this month began offering subscribers one free transactional video per month . the move is intended as both a client acquisition strategy and as way of quickly refreshing its catalog .
we’re looking for a concept that is in sync with the medium of modern television in the digital age . whether it’s a situational comedy , a supernatural drama , a crime procedural drama or limited series , a hooq original needs to be compelling enough that someone would stay up all night to binge watch every episode ! you are not constrained with traditional tv durations hence episode can be as short as 20 minutes or up to 60 minutes long . what matters is the story and characters that lend itself towards binge - viewing and naturally , be binge - worthy .
in terms of content , hooq has roughly doubled in size since the 2015 launch , to over 30 , 000 titles , but kapoor says that isn ' t a very useful metric .
the raw numbers don ' t mean anything . it ' s about how popular the titles are , and that ' s what we ' ve focused on ,
he says .
so we ' ve got some of top english content already , in movies , and in tv shows that are really popular we have some exclusives like mad dogs , spartacus , and big bang theory . we have flash and arrow , all shows that are really popular in india .
that was a time when video on demand services were few and far between . a lot has happened since , including netflix ' s entry into india , and that seems to have changed the entire media landscape . as kapoor notes while talking to gadgets 360 , it seems hard to find a company that is not getting into video on demand .
sony liv recently announced several new web series , exclusive to its streaming application , which at one time just used to be a second screen experience . hotstar has evolved from being a way to catch broadcast television content into a premium platform that has exclusive movies and shows .
reliance ' s jio ondemand and airtel ' s pocket tv are two examples of telcos that are getting into the space , while china ' s leeco also unveiled its ' supertainment ' services in india earlier this year .
what you ' ll see is partnerships and coalitions forming , but in the long run , india isn ' t going to be a single player market ,
he adds .
think of it like this - instead of spending nearly rs . 1000 or more per month for television where you ' re not even interested in most of the content , you could get three or four on - demand services in the same price . yes , prices will evolve too , but it ' s practically a one - year old industry in india , so it ' s too soon to say exactly how that [ pricing ] is going to develop .
one possible solution might be short term sign ups , to catch up to shows you want to watch , he suggests .
so you might have three subscriptions you keep long term , and for the rest , you sign up for a month , binge the content you want , and then unsubscribe after that ,

are you a brand or agency wanting to learn more about genero ? enter your details below and we’ll get in touch .
what we don’t want is a generic one - size - fits - all asian series concept that is devoid of any cultural grounding . any concept submitted has to clearly be targeted at one of the 8 countries that the guild spans singapore , thailand , malaysia , india , philippines , indonesia , vietnam or cambodia . it would be great if it has cross - border appeal but the primary aim should be to be relevant to your home audience . our focus is on exceptional storytelling first and foremost .
whilst your concept submission to the guild must be in english , your pilot can have dialogue in your native language or a language mash - up as long as that is culturally authentic and true to your home country . for example , a singaporean concept can be a mix of hokkien and english or utilise singlish or can be in mandarin entirely . a malaysian concept can be in malay and english or utilise manglish . a filipino concept can be entirely in tagalog or english mixed with tagalog . remember , our focus is on authenticity and relatability to your home audience .
whilst we are open to submissions in all genres , some genres do not lend themselves naturally to the television format or medium . horror for example , is difficult to execute compellingly for television unless paired with some other medium . supernatural stories tend to be extremely popular in asia , which makes it difficult for such stories to be unique or stand out . filmmakers should therefore ensure that their concepts are not a tried and tested formula but rather , represent an elevated version of a genre .
we are not looking for feature film concepts that can be sliced up into smaller parts . if you have a feature film concept , then it has to be re - developed appropriately into a series format . our preference is for concepts that have demonstrable longevity as a series that can carry multiple seasons rather than a limited series .
above all , filmmakers should ensure that their concept has an identifiable genre or if it is a genre mash - up , an identifiable number of genres .
the 5 selected filmmakers will each receive a budget of usd $ 30 , 000 to develop and execute their pilot . this creates a very tight creative sandbox for the filmmaker and their team but is meant to invoke the spirit of guerilla filmmaking . whilst filmmakers should give thought to whether or not their pilot concept is executable within the budget , they are encouraged to exercise inventiveness and creativity fully to see their vision through to fruition .
if you are a filmmaker or writer or producer or in the film industry , living in singapore , thailand , malaysia , india , philippines , indonesia , vietnam or cambodia or a citizen of the above countries based elsewhere , you are eligible to submit a pitch to the 2018 filmmakers guild .
1 . showreel - filmmakers should submit a detailed set of verifiable credentials and a showreel with your best works .
2 . treatment - your concept submission should take the form of a creative treatment either in the form of a written narrative or a presentation and must be in the english language . the creative treatment must be supplied as a pdf and should contain the following :
3 . script - your treatment must be accompanied by at least 10 pages of the script for the pilot .
filmmakers are encouraged to include in the creative treatment any other relevant information that would help the judges visualise or imagine the show with greater clarity , including but not limited to viable casting , concept visuals or a rip reel . however , these are not necessary and should only be included if you feel they will enhance your submission .
the pilot script should be submitted as a separate pdf file . the pilot script should conform to american screenplay writing standards and formatting requirements as far as possible . we encourage script submissions in english as far as possible , but will accept script submissions in your native language .
submissions will only be accepted via the genero platform . any submissions via any other avenues will not be entertained .
filmmakers should ideally have credentials in the film industry , either as a working professional across any aspect of film production , e . g . scriptwriter , director , producer etc .
all parties involved must be 18 + and a native of any of the following asian countries : singapore , thailand , malaysia , india , philippines , indonesia , vietnam or cambodia . foreigners may participate in their country of residence or submit according to the language of the country they are submitting under .
the judging panel will consists of top film talents from around asia including award - winning directors , producers and actors .
all media : global / worldwide , in perpetuity , including talent and music .
your submission meets the submission guidelines and restrictions ( detailed in the brief above ) .

with eyes so often focused on the china’s huge streaming video market , it is easy to overlook the ongoing battles for dominance of the ott sector across the rest of asia .
the combatants include global giants netflix and amazon and the regional leaders such as hong kong - based pccw media which is rolling out its viu service , us - based crunchyroll , china’s leeco and a host of operators from south east asia and korea .
the arrival of netflix in asia in 2015 ( in japan and australia ) and early 2016 ( in the rest of the region except china and north korea , where it has not attempted a launch ) sent shockwaves through the ott market in the region .
local players responded by focusing on the u . s . platform’s weakness in asian local content and have rushed to supply regional movies and tv shows , before netflix catches up .
viu , which operates on a freemium model offering free access to users , already has 9 million subscribers in 10 asian territories . the company says it is confident with markets outside of china , including korea , india , japan , hong kong and southeast asia . viu said ott tv ad revenue will reach $ 40 billion by 2020 , citing a projection by research firm the diffusion group . viu said its app has been downloaded 1 . 2 million times within six months of its hong kong launch , and it has recently rolled out services in india , singapore , malaysia and indonesia .
janice lee , managing director of pccw media , said localization of content in local languages will be the key . “in meeting viewers’ needs , we are committed to offering localized version of the latest programs , ” lee said .
while viu’s focus is streaming acquired content from korea , japan , taiwan and mainland china , it is also beginning to venture into original content production .
