Happy Technicolor Tuesday! Here you can see what some of our costumes, sets, and even makeup looked like in glorious color. All pictures by Christopher Higgins, except for the last one, which was taken by Brent Madison.
We enjoyed taking disposable camera pics on the set of Poe Party so much that we decided to do it again on Gilded Lily. Here are some that some of our lucky backers will be receiving along with their perks!
This past weekend we returned to Buffer Festival for the premiere of our new short film, The Case of the Gilded Lily.
We love Buffer because it celebrates great work on YouTube, and this year was no exception. We were delighted to cheer on our friends the Tin Can Brothers and their short, Idle Worship, as well as Whitney Avalon and her new music video, You’re Not Fooling Anyone, not to mention the many many other great videos that we enjoyed. We were pretty nervous about showing a 40-minute film to an audience that’s used to short YouTube videos, but Gilded Lily served up laughs from start to finish, and everyone in attendance truly seemed to enjoy it. We can’t wait to share it with you!
And now you can get not only those sweet Gilded Lily pins we wore on the red carpet, but Poe Party and Shipwrecked pins as well!Head on over to our merch store where you can purchase them individually or as a pack. And just a note for Gilded Lily backers: If you selected the pin add-on, you will be receiving one of these pins from us shortly, so no need to purchase that one if you have already!
Pour yourself an extra bowl of red herring soup, because Poe Party is representing at the IAWTV Awards on October 4th in Los Angeles!

Me: I began in 1809. I was born to a mother and a father in the dead of winter. And then what became dead was my mother. And then my father left because he couldn’t stand the sight of a baby with no hair – so I grew hair! And then I was adopted by a family named the Allans – just kidding, the didn’t adopt me they just gave me their name. And to make matters worse, we lived in Virginia. And, also, a bird was there.
Buffer Festival is fast approaching! We are hard at work finishing Gilded Lily and cannot WAIT to premiere it at Buffer at the end of next month! Here’s a little sneak peek to get you excited.
We also wanna let you know that we will be closing our BackerKit this week! This is your last chance to get our Kickstarter posters or to see the short right after it premieres at Buffer. Head on over and get the goods while you still can!
