Welcome to Sanditon may be winding down, but you can find star Allison Paige in a brand new web series that is part video blog, part fashion thriller.
Allison Paige stars in Gloss: A Digital Series as Max Luna, a teen video blogger who goes undercover to expose the truth about the death of supermodel Greta Versailles.
Paige is familiar with the video blogging style from her role of Gigi in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and Welcome to Sanditon. However, the trailer for Gloss shows that the series will be a mixture of a more traditional filming style, and the direct-to-camera video blogging popular on YouTube.
‘Gloss’ trailer starring Allison Paige:
Gloss will comprise of 12 episodes, each running approximately 10 minutes. The series is being hailed as the “first” Max Luna adventure, so we assume we will be seeing more of Paige (depending on viewership). The Gloss website hints that the “season finale leads into future Max Luna adventures.”
The website also lists additional media including The Max Luna Files – Max’s vlog prequel to the series, transmedia content on platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr and Vine. Fans of Allison Paige’s work on The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and Welcome to Sanditon will be familiar with the use of transmedia to expand a web-based story.
