The Guild
In 2007 Felicia Day, a budding Los Angeles actress, wrote a television pilot about a group of online gamers called The Guild. When the networks passed, she filmed it herself and posted it on YouTube, where the initial episode was watched by close to one million viewers. Since then The Guild has gathered an almost cult-like following, received critical accolades from the media and won numerous awards from online peers, with Xbox Live Marketplace even stepped in to fund future seasons of the webseries. While ostensibly about online gamers and the fictional worlds they create, in actuality The Guild is a very funny situation comedy about a group of dysfunctional loners discovering the rewards that genuine friendship provides while struggling with personal identity issues and the difficulties of real life. With crisp writing, a solid plot and great acting, The Guild proves that the webseries medium can be just as entertaining and enjoyable as television.
