GUIDESTONES Get-Together
444 Bathurst Street, Studio 2, Toronto
Thursday, November 22nd, 6:30pm ET
Please RSVP at http://facebook.com/guidestonestv

The creators of Guidestones would like to thank fans and supporters of the series for helping to make it a success. We are having an open house at our home base (Smiley Guy Studios, 444 Bathurst Street, Studio 2, Toronto) and we’d like you to attend so we can thank you in person! This is an opportunity to meet with the creators and stars of Guidestones, including Supinder Wraich, Dan Fox, Jay Ferguson, and many of the show’s cast and crew, and for us to thank you for all of the support. There will be food, drink and conversation.

This will be the first of a bi-monthly series in which we will gather with Guidestones fans to talk about other online entertainment that we love. Each ‘Get-Together’ will spotlight different producers and celebrities. Our goal is to introduce Guidestones fans to our favourite online content.

If you can’t make it down to the studio then you can watch live online.

Each ‘Get-Together’ will be streamed live on Livestream and will feature a Q&A with the stars of each featured series. The broadcast on November 22nd will begin at 7:00pm ET with a short presentation by the creators of Guidestones. This will be followed by a live-streamed Q&A for our fans. Please submit questions to our Twitter handle @guidestonestv with the hashtag #GuidestonesGT for Supinder Wraich, Dan Fox, Jay Ferguson or any other cast and crew you want to speak with.

Special Guest: Carrie Cutforth-Young, an influential member of the interactive web community, will be on hand to answer questions about the ever-changing transmedia landscape. Carrie is the driving force behind Queen Spade Creative, a cross-media boutique prodco/agency with a passion for storytelling.

Submit your questions now and we will do our best to answer them all on November 22nd.

Guidestones is Everywhere

July 10th, 2012 by Jay

Now that pre-production is underway for season 2 of Guidestones, we want to make sure as many people as possible have a chance to see season 1. That’s why, in addition to the interactive ‘push‘ format, we released the series on-demand here at guidestones.org and at Hulu. We’re also active on Twitter and Facebook, and we love to interact with our fans.

We’re currently working on some ideas for increasing fan involvement, whether you’re in Toronto, Los Angeles, Glasgow, Berlin, Tokyo, or anywhere in between. We’ll make sure to keep you all updated as these plans take shape.

In the meantime, keep watching and sharing Guidestones!

The Reviews Are In

June 29th, 2012 by Jay

We are delighted that Guidestones has been received so well by so many gracious reviewers. Here’s a sample of what they’re saying.

“Guidestones promises to raise the bar for the web series genre.” [Jane Doh, Wired]

Guidestones is ultimately the webseries equivalent of a “pageturner”. Like a good book, once you start watching Guidestones, you just can’t stop.” [Anthony Letizia, alterna-TV]

“[The] fact that this is a web series and not an actual feature film boggles my mind. It beats some of the stuff I’ve seen in the theater in recent memory and it’s original and fresh.” [Tracy Ladd, Reel Goddess]

“It is worthwhile to see based solely upon its motion picture quality — it is much better than most of the brain-dead pablum coming out of Hollywood today.” [Van Smith, Van’s Hardware Journal]

Guidestones [is] a really well produced series that is fun as hell to follow, especially if you get into the puzzle solving and investigation on your own.” [Dave Pace, Fangoria]

Guidestones: Now Available on Hulu!

June 22nd, 2012 by Jay

We are continuing to introduce new ways for audiences to interact with Guidestones. As such, we’re proud to say that viewers in the U.S. can now watch Guidestones on Hulu! Please share and enjoy Guidestones in this new and exciting format!

Guidestones: Season 2 (coming soon)

June 20th, 2012 by Jay

The Independent Production Fund announced this week that they had approved funding for 15 scripted drama series. As you may have guessed, Guidestones was one of them. That’s right, season two is now one step closer to becoming a reality.

With the Rockie Award win at the Banff World Media Festival, the launch of our new website and an on-demand version of the series, and now this, it has been a very exciting couple of weeks. It goes without saying (but we’ll say it anyway) that none of this would be possible without the support of our truly incredible fans. So, on behalf of everyone at Guidestones: thank you.

Keep watching and sharing Guidestones, and we’ll keep you posted on all of the new developments that are surely to come in the weeks and months ahead.
