Board Thread:Anne of Green Gables "Notes"/@comment-3493059-20150715114519

Project Green Gables is an upcoming webseries from Helsinki, Finland, and it debuts THIS FRIDAY (17th of July)! I'm one of those people who can never have enough of Anne, quite honestly (even if efforts are only mediocre), and I'm excited to see how this will go. Like GGF, it's also created by HS/uni students and inspired by LBD and Pemberley Digital, but unlike GGF, the main actress is black. Here's their own description:

Project Green Gables is a modernized remaking of the beloved Anne of Green Gables series by L. M. Montgomery. We are a group of students, studying in Helsinki and we wanted to create a space of creative work for ourselves, something completely of our own. We wanted to start a project where could call the shots - we wanted to work on our own terms. So, Project Green Gables was born.

In our version Anne is seventeen and navigating her new community in Avonlea. Her story is told through her own voice in a videoblog she updates weekly, in the style of Pemberley Digital which we were greatly inspired by. We get to see her at her happiest and most vulnerable, as well as spending time with her friends she brings along on the show as "special guests". This felt like an interesting format for us to try out and also brings Anne even closer to us than before.
