Los
Angeles, CA – With more than 100 episodes of original web content under
her creative belt, New Media Maven STEPHANIE THORPE will moderate a
panel of web series experts at SDCC 2013 on Thursday, July 18th at
7:30PM in room 24ABC.
Thorpe
will lead the “Web Creators Assemble!” panel featuring a lively
discussion amongst web experts on breaking new ground, creating
innovative content, building a following and more. Joining the panel
will be Jane Espenson (tv writer/producer Once Upon a Time, Buffy), Brad
Bell (Husbands), Tara Platt (Shelf Life), Katrina Hill (Gamers Anon),
Alex Langely (Super Knocked-Up), Sandeep Parikh (The Guild, The Legend
of Neil) and Jourdan Gibson (The Cell).
And, to celebrate the 35th Anniversary
of legendary comic series “ElfQuest,” Thorpe will join creators Wendy
and Richard Pini, producing partner Paula Rhodes (with whom she holds
the film/TV rights to the ElfQuest franchise) and Managing Editor of
Boing Boing Rob Beschizza as they celebrate three and a half decades of
the longest-running fantasy graphic novel series and surprise fans by
what’s planned as the story builds to its most ambitious chapter yet,
“Final Quest”; which will be published by Dark Horse in the fall.
Currently,
Thorpe’s artistic spirit is being showcased in the latest edition of
Cupcake Quarterly Magazine. The feature includes photos of Thorpe as her
favorite superhero The Scarlet Witch and as a gender bending Sherlock
Holmes. Also, Thorpe has just signed on to write the new monthly column
“Red Carpet Rundown” for Ms. In The Biz Magazine, offering up ways to
rock the red with style and fun while on a budget. (msinthebiz.com)
Thorpe’s
latest creation “The Ladies & The Gents,” premiered to rave reviews
and was showcased at the Big Screen Little Screen event held at SAG in
May. Now halfway into its 20 week run, this comedy series involves over
50 web-celebs and explores the shenanigans during ‘one night, one LA
club, two restrooms.’ (theladiesandthegents.com)
