History: The Awards and Kickstarter

Written on Sunday, March 02, 2014 by Unknown

This one will be quick, don't worry.

Wait - not because they don't have many awards or anything, but because I don't really need to explain them in a whole lot of detail. Yea.

For the awards, both nominations and wins are included. Wins are in bold.

Awards:
- Best Writing - Comedy: Bernie Su [WON]
- Best Female Performance Comedy: Ashley Clements
- Best Ensemble Cast
- Best Comedy Series
- Best Interactive Program [WON]
- Audience Choice for Series of the Year

- Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media - Original Interactive Program: Bernie Su, Jay Bushman, and Alexandra Edwards [WON]

The show has also won many smaller internet awards and competitions. It is also frequently on top web series lists. If there are any particular wins that you feel I should include here, please post them in the comments and I will update accordingly.

Kickstarter:
The campaign site
Total funds: $462,405
Total backers: 7,158
Funding period: - (31 days)
Primary purpose: DVD set (still not yet released, but they're working on it), and compensation of cast and crew
Ranking: As of 3/1/14 it is the 10th most funded project within the Film & Video category, and the 173rd most funded overall. Very good, I'd say.

Now the Kickstarter was a huge success, is one of the top funded projects within the Film & Video category, and basically was all around awesome. However, it is not the main focus of this thesis so I will not be going into it any further.

Of course, that doesn't mean someone else hasn't already. So if you are interested in learning more about the epic LBD Kickstarter campaign then check out this fantastic slide show with lots of cool facts

    Kickstarter powerpoint or whatever that is is very cool -- interesting in terms of changing the mode/means of production. Interesting. Relevant. :)
