So you’re working on Vidcon right now. Do you have any other projects going on?
I am actually producing another show right now, that is called Style Club TV: Makeover. I actually also freelance produce with another amazing new up-and-coming network that’s coming out, called TV4 Entertainment. It’s really looking at the landscape right now and their tagline is “Your passion plays here.” It’s really about, “Hey, is there a show you have always wanted to do that didn’t fit anywhere else?”
I use this silly example of Freddie Wong. Everybody knows Freddie Wong’s current style, and obviously he loves what he does, but what if Freddie Wong also loved knitting, and just never had the occasion to do a knitting show? We would say, “Hey Freddie, you want to do that knitting show you always wanted to do? Come do it here.” We want to work with existing talent.
So this show that I’m working on is a makeover show, but what makes it different is it takes these celebrity designers and stylists and pairs them with YouTubers, giving them a day of style, like “Hey let’s make you pretty, or get you ready for your hot date, or whatever you want to do.” Everybody loves that!
And I’d totally watch that knitting show.
Oh, the knitting show? I’ll get onto that.
Please do.
So a style show is obviously very different from Lizzie Bennet Diaries, but I will say Ashley Clements is going to do an episode, so that will be fun.
And Vidcon is coming up August this year?
Yes, August 1-4. People have asked this, I am 90% sure we will do something with The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. The creator of Vidcon and the director of content both work on the show.
So it’s probable.
It’s probable. And we had so much fun on the show last year, it was great having everyone there. And that was before, when we had no idea how big it was, and to come to Vidcon and just be welcomed, and the girls just had such a great time. We really would love to do something again.
I saw a cool idea recently: what if your next adaptation is in a similar style with the vlogging, and they happened to go to Vidcon, maybe the Lizzie Bennet Diaries characters would be walking around in the background as a little crossover. What do you think about that, could it happen?
Well, I will say that something that has been in consideration in thinking about what we are going to do next has always been, can we set it in a universe where there can be crossover? We’ve really grown to become close to everyone on The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, especially the cast members – it’s really hard for us to fathom a world where we would just end the book and be like, “Hey guy, see you later.” We don’t want that because we love being around them, and we have become like a little family, so it is definitely not beyond the realm of possibilities that you will see these characters again.
