LOS ANGELES -- Former Nickelodeon producer and creator Butch Hartman is launching Oaxis Entertainment, a new online streaming service dedicated to nonstop family-focused programming planned to launch in 2019.
With the help of the community and Kickstarter, he plans to raise more than $250,000 in 30 days to kick-off the project. Funds raised will go towards the development of the subscription-based platform, hiring creative producers and staff to generate original content, and acquiring material that aligns with Oaxis’ family-focused mission.
Programming on Oaxis will include everything from animated series, drama, comedy, feature films, sports, fitness, reality, news, video games and everything viewers expect from a premiere entertainment service.
Additionally, Oaxis Entertainment will have a user-based upload feature that will allow users to upload their own family-focused content for others to enjoy. All user-submitted content will go through the “Oaxis filter,” ensuring that it is suitable for viewers of all ages before it becomes live on the platform.
Butch Hartman is using Kickstarter to fund Oaxis Entertainment, a streaming platform for family-focused entertainment.
“As a family man working in Hollywood my goal has always been to provide quality entertainment that everyone can enjoy,” says Hartman. “With Oaxis, I now have an opportunity to give families the chance to connect and experience quality entertainment together again.”
