What Company is Offering:
quarterlife.com, the social network, is devoted to facilitating that same coming of age as the series. Along with community building, it provides resources in all the areas of life that affect those in their twenties – careers, love, health, finances, education, activism.
quarterlife is the new online series from Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, the creative team behind “My So-Called Life,” “thirtysomething,” “Legends of the Fall,” and “Blood Diamond.” It is the first time a true, network-quality series has been produced directly for the Internet. And it’s the first time an independent project of this distinction has been owned and controlled by its creators.
How It Works:
An animated “Portfolio,” a way to present various forms of media – be they videos, photos, music, or writing.
“My Studio,” a workspace and repository for all uploaded media, where soon the users will have tools to write, edit photos and videos, and organize their creative efforts.
“My Private Studio” where works that aren’t ready to be shared, or are too intimate to share, can be safely kept.
Compelling, informative on schools, grants, and techniques, as well as channels for many issues such as love, sex, health, and activism, where users and experts will be able to post content.
Participatory features that will invite the online community to be involved with the ongoing creation of the quarterlife series. Members of the community will be encouraged to upload their own videos and blogs, etc.
In quarterlife Herkovitz and Zwick take on those crucial years between 20 and 30, when so many of life’s important decisions are made. quarterlife tells the ongoing stories of six creative people in their twenties. As with their earlier series, at the center of quarterlife is a commitment to realism, the recognition of universal human themes through the truthful depiction of the way young people speak, work, think, love, argue, and just goof around.

Starting with Dylan, a young woman whose overly truthful video blog (on quarterlife.com of course) spills the closest secrets of her friends, the show’s characters – filmmakers Danny and Jed, actress-bartender Lisa, geek-extraordinaire Andy, and still-tied-to-her-parents Debra – chart the sometimes excruciating, sometimes comic, often emotional experiences that comprise coming of age in the 21st Century.
