#SaveAlice

Dear Readers,

Classic Alice could use your help.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/classic-alice-books-8-beyond/x/7165186

You may already know about this show… this year I created a webseries called “Classic Alice”. It has met with quite a bit of success online and we’d like to keep the story going. It’s absolutely an independent endeavor and we need your support. We just launched our new crowdfunding campaign and would love to hit it with a bang!

Anything can help - even $5 would be incredibly appreciated, even a SHARE. Really! Take a look and thank you SO much for everything!

What is it?Classic Alice is the brainchild of series creator and star, Kate Hackett. When over-achiever Alice Rackham gets a bad grade on an essay because she isn’t emotionally connecting to material, she decides to live her life according to classic novels. Her friend, Andrew Prichard, uses the opportunity to make a vlog-style documentary about the process, and together they create ‘Classic Alice’.

We shot 24 episodes and 24 confessionals last time, in addition to the 6 + extras already on YouTube.com/ClassicAliceSeries and all our transmedia (like our podcasts) & more is available at http://classic-alice.com and IMDb because we're legit! But we think there should be more.

We loved making Classic Alice and we very much want to tell more stories with these characters. As Kate says -- the story just shouldn't end here; it could, but that's not real life and that's not what we think is best for our show -- it is not the story we set out to tell! There was plenty of drama (will they won't they?! Wind in the Willows! Cara's arc! EWAN. FREAKIN. MCBAY. And so much more) in the past seven books... wouldn't it be nice to see where things head for everyone?
