STEPHANIE THORPE Takes ELFQUEST
Over The Rainbow
at Emerald City Comic Con 2013
Los Angeles, CA – Geek Icon STEPHANIE THORPE to moderate panel celebrating 35th Anniversary of legendary comic series “ElfQuest” at the Emerald City Comic Con 2013 on Saturday, March 2, 2013.
Joined
by creators Wendy and Richard Pini, you’re invited to share in an
examination of all things “ElfQuest”: past, present and an exciting look
ahead at what the future holds for this beloved series.
Recently announced on the front page of Variety, Thorpe
and producing partner Paula Rhodes acquired the film/TV rights to the
ElfQuest franchise. As one of the driving forces behind the
award-winning cyber-phenom “ElfQuest: A Fan Imagining”, Thorpe will
bring her unique perspective to the lively discussion. This short
live-action production has had over 300,000 views since its debut,
earning numerous awards and accolades from film festivals, conventions
and the media with over 100 articles and interviews to date.
Thorpe
comments, "I think ElfQuest resonates with fans on so many levels.
Wendy and Richard Pini are really incredible visionaries and the art is
absolutely beautiful. People are also really attracted to the grand
adventures that Cutter and his tribe go on, and despite being elves,
these conflicts make for very human stories."
Her
acting & producing work continues in returning series “Shelf Life”
(www.shelflifeseries.com), which has completed 4 seasons of 40 episodes,
and was featured at Comic-Con 2012 and at Social Media Week in LA.
And
coming soon, Thorpe creates and stars in the new series “Slumber Con.”
Touted as ‘The View...for nerds’, Thorpe and fellow geek girl Jennifer
Landa host slumber party-style chats about the latest in nerd news,
entertainment, crafts, food & style (www.slumbercon.com). Thorpe is
also one of the writers, directors, producers & actors in the new
comedy series “The Ladies & The Gents," exploring the shenanigans
during ‘One night, One club, Two restrooms’ (theladiesandthegents.com),
which will premiere in mid-March 2013.
A
growing presence in the New Media scene, Thorpe is in demand as an
expert panelist & speaker, a host and presenter, a writer &
producer, content creator, actress and director. She speaks at events
around the country, appearing on such panels as Geek Girls Create at
WonderCon 2012 and The Most Dangerous Women at Comic-Con at SDCC 2012.
