WHAT IS IT?

"Notes by Christine" is a modern retelling of Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera. Inspired by "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries" and "Marble Hornets," a new twist on the original tale comes to life on your screens. Christine studies Vocal Music at university and reluctantly gets dragged into the limelight by her friend Meg. Meg needs a subject for her film editing experience and decides Christine and her voice are perfect. However, not everyone is a benign observer. A mysterious stranger begins to help Christine improve, but not without certain bumps in the night to accompany that help. Add to that the haunting of the university’s theater and a reunion with a childhood sweetheart, events take a turn for the extraordinary. Be prepared for the mystery of a lifetime that unfolds before your very eyes, following our heroine every step of the way.

This is the first and fairly ambitious project coming from our group, but there is a wealth of story not told by the musical and we hope that our adaptation reveals new facets of the story. The Phantom of the Opera is well known as a musical; however, many people forget it was based on a book by Leroux with some wonderful characters and grotesque details left out that we will bring to you, dressed up for a modern online audience.

HERE’S WHERE YOU JOIN US IN THE EXPERIENCE

As we’ve said, we are fairly new to the big project venue, so we lack the necessary equipment that would bring the best possible series to life. We are looking to get a better camera, lighting equipment, sound equipment, cosmetics, costuming that our cast cannot provide, and various props. This project holds a place near and dear to our hearts and we are hoping you feel the same and support our dream.

We have already started pre-production and are currently in the middle of writing scripts and hope to be ready to release the first episode in the fall of 2013. We hope that you wonderful folks will help us out so that we have our equipment up and ready for the series. Your help can make a huge impact on the series. In addition to our utmost gratitude, you will receive something even just donating $1! Thank you so much for believing in us and helping us in any way you can!
