FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are you in any way associated with the awesomeness that is the Lizzie Bennet Diaries?
Nope. We are however, big fans- and of course we ran the idea by Bernie Su, who has been very supportive.
Then who are you?
We’re a collection of young artists comprised of both students and professionals in various fields who are looking to enter the entertainment industry, and are super pumped to be taking on a web series.
You can find out more about us, and how The Autobiography of Jane Eyre came to be by watching our intro video.
How many writers are on the show?
At the moment, we have 7 writers; Nessa Aref, Christina Bialik, Alysson Hall, Ryan Bright, Chris Coutts, Courtney Christensen, and Kyle D'Odorico. In addition, we have a small group of consultant/editors who help with various aspects of the scripts, writing and research.
Where did you find the cast?
As we’re a much small production working on a 0$ budget- we're lucky enough to have a network of actors who we know quite well due to schooling or previous work in the industry. Unfortunately not every role could be cast this way - so we were lucky enough to read with some awesome actors that we hadn’t known before.
When do the videos air?
Every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 AM PST.
Will The Autobiography of Jane Eyre have a Transmedia element to it as well?
Yes! In our humble opinions as both audience members and story-tellers, the transmedia aspect is not only essential to the series but also really cool because it creates an entire world and a multi-layered story. So as far as it makes sense for each character, social media will definitely be used.
Do Lizzie and Jane exist in the same universe?
For us, yes, they do. In that universe, Lizzie is a real person vlogging away about her life and Jane is a fan. Though as far as we know, Lizzie doesn't know about Jane.
Where is it set?
It is set in Vancouver, British Columbia, and the surrounding area.
Will you be providing captions for the hearing impaired and for other languages?
Yes, on a volunteer basis. If you’d like to help, please drop us a line at TheAutobiographyofJaneEyre@gmail.com
