“At the time … (FOX) wanted to target men, so I figured I’d do something sports related,” Moon said. “This was last summer, so the Ohio State and University of Miami things had just come up, so … I used that as a basis for the web series.”

Co-written by Joseph Dickerson and David Canseco, “Suit Up” follows crisis manager Jim Dunnigan as he is sent to Glory University to clean up after scandal erupts, only to find that he’s in way over his head. With his entire career at stake, Dunnigan must find a way to survive and fix the existing problems. The cast includes Marc Evan Jackson and Barry Corbin.

Once the concept was approved by FOX and DIRECTV, Moon worked out the eight-episode series and finished in January. He said he is proud of the series and was “very excited” when he saw that it had been chosen as a USA Today Top Pick Of The Week on Sept. 10.

“I think web series have started to break through a lot,” he said. “Yahoo! is actually doing very well. I think web series are maturing and getting better.”

Media and information junior Duncan White, a producer for the MSU Telecasters’ web series, “Turn,” said he agreed.

“Anyone can take a camera out, film something, put it on the web and people will see it,” White said. “So now talented people who for whatever reason wouldn’t have made it into the film business can make content and have people see it. That’s awesome. It’s really, genuinely exciting.”

While at MSU, Moon studied screen writing with professor Bill Vincent, who said he is not surprised by Moon’s success.

“He was always very hardworking and showed his talent and inventiveness in my screen writing classes. Another factor in his success is his self-confidence, without which nobody can succeed in Hollywood.”

Vincent said he is glad that the Internet is being used to create more opportunities for success.

“So many talented people are trying to succeed in the entertainment industry, and the older forms of media only afford a limited amount of opportunity,” Vincent said. “So, with the enormous growth of interest in material on the web, it is great that this new form of opportunity is becoming more and more available.”

Moon said he plans to begin his search for an agent as soon as the series is finished.
