Leesa Dean: Adventures in Web Series Creation – Fanboys

chilltown fanboys

by Leesa Dean

When I self-published Chilltown as a comic book years ago, there always were fanboys and they always were strange. Because it was indie, not superhero fare, I typically got obsessives with bizarre tastes. And they shared every single one of them with me. Endlessly. It was like being a magnet for the lunatic fringe.

With an indie web series, it’s worse! First, lemme clarify: Primarily I have genuine fans of the show who are cool and great and I’ve actually become friends with a lot of them. They’re supportive and like-minded and respectful and just awesome, in general. And I love talking with them. They’ve made this journey a lot easier. read article

Leesa Dean: Adventures in Web Series Creation – The Mistake

by Leesa Dean

So, I created, wrote and animated Chilltown (and Lele’s Ratchet Advice Show.) They’re both cartoons for adults (you know, like South Park.)  They’re both pretty wild. Already described how/why I came up with Chilltown. Recently decided to start keeping an online blog describing the ups and downs of releasing a web series, guerilla style.

What this WON’T be, is a blow-by-blow of what it takes to actually promote one. Mainly cause I’m still sorta stumbling through that. What it will be, is stories/vignettes from the front lines. And my life. Every week. read article

Peer Production: CHILLTOWN TV

Chilltowntv.com is the official home of the hip-hop oriented, animated web comedy, Chilltown. Based on the hit underground comic book and created, written and animated by Leesa Dean, it revolves around the lives and mis-adventures of three underground hip-hop heads (G, Marv and Plad) straight outta Chilltown, NJ.

More important than the premise, though, is the execution. CHILLTOWN is hip, funny, and authentic. In other words, TVWriter™ really likes it and thinks you will too. read article
