Lily. If she’s on your case, she’s going to crack it. Hard.
With a tagline like that, It’s a wonder that Lily hasn’t far exceeded its goal already. The project is well on its way to being funded, but if you want to see an amazing crime drama unlike anything you’ve seen before, Lily needs your help.
Lily has some incredible talent behind it. The series was created by Warehouse 13 and Grimm showrunner David Simkins (who also has a plethora of other credits under his belt, including Human Target and Blade: The Series), and stars Lynn Ayala (Starship: Rising) as the show’s titular character. The Event‘s D.B. Sweeny will play Lily’s LAPD badge touting ex-husband, while Michael Nankin of Defiance and Battlestar Galactica fame will direct the action-packed pilot. A very cool, and very important member of the team, homicide detective Sal LaBarbera, whose decades of expertise will serve him well in his Consulting Producer and Technical Advisor roles.
Just last week, Lynn and Sal sat down with Jonathan in the ToadHop studio to chat about all things Lily. Their hour-long conversation shows just how passionate the two are about their roles, and had me logging in to Kickstarter before the episode was even over. If you want to get a look at the driving force behind this amazing project, watch the episode below, and read on for more details.
Lily sounds impressive, doesn’t it? The project has amassed nearly half of its $10’000 goal in just two weeks time, but it still needs your support! The pilot needs just under $6000 for production to start, and there are some fantastic perks available for project backers: digital downloads, autographed items, temporary tattoos, official soundtracks, and even walk on roles.
