Movie studio Lionsgate launched its Lionsgate Incubator joint project with online content creation network Massify, saying the companies will distribute on the Web any resulting films or ideas produced by the partnership.

YouTube

is expected to be the primary outlet for content coming from the venture.

Its first project to appear on YouTube "will feature a high-concept, male-driven comedy short" that Lionsgate will consider for a full-length film.

Production of the short feature will begin in May.
