And David Poland’s channel “DP/30: The Oral History of Hollywood,” where Poland chats with various celebrities and movie makers, has landed a series of specials called “Celebrity Conversations,” beginning Wednesday July 22 on Ovation TV. Guests will include actor Jake Gyllenhal and director Antoine Fuqua.

Other YouTube partners working with Ovation Digital Arts are video creator Gabriel Valenciano, Ted Forbes and his Art of Photography channel; The Art of Aaron Blaise, and many others.
