History

lonelygirl15 debuted on YouTube posing as a real 16-year-old video blogger with the eponymous username. At first, the videos covered normal, everyday subject matter, as the title character dealt with typical teenage angst, but quickly morphed into a bizarre narrative that portrayed her dealings with secret occult practices within her family and included the mysterious disappearance of her parents after she refused to attend a "secret" ceremony prescribed by the leaders of the family's cult. In lonelygirl15's earliest videos, she posted video replies to, and dropped the names of popular YouTubers, which attracted the attention of their fans. Name dropping is the practice of mentioning important people or institutions into a Conversation, Story, Song or other communication To further the initial illusion that Bree was a real girl, a MySpace page was set up for her and she began meaningfully corresponding with many of her fans. MySpace is a popular social networking Website offering an interactive user-submitted network of friends personal profiles blogs groups photos music and Several fans of lonelygirl15's video posts began to wonder if Bree was, in fact, a real person or if the posts were part of a teaser campaign for a television show or an upcoming movie^[3] (similar to the viral marketing used to hype The Blair Witch Project or Cloverfield). Viral marketing and viral advertising refer to Marketing techniques that use pre-existing Social networks to produce increases in Brand awareness The Blair Witch Project is a low-budget American Horror film released in 1999 Cloverfield is a 2008 monster / Horror film directed by Matt Reeves, produced by J Others felt that the blog might be part of an alternate reality game. An alternate reality game ( ARG) is an interactive Narrative that uses the real world as a platform often involving multiple media and game elements to tell ^[4]

In early August 2006, fans began an active discussion on the www. lonelygirl15. com message boards and instigated an all-out investigation into the details behind lonelygirl15, pointing to small inconsistencies within the videos as evidence that the story might not be genuine. Los Angeles Times reporter Richard Rushfield was the first to provide proof of a hoax, when he wrote of Shaina Wedmedyk, Chris Patterson, and an anonymous law student, who set up a sting on MySpace to reveal that the Creative Artists Agency was behind the videos. The Los Angeles Times (also known as the LA Times) is a daily Newspaper published in Los Angeles California and distributed In law enforcement a sting operation is a Deceptive operation designed to catch a person committing a crime Creative Artists Agency ( CAA) is an entertainment and sports agency which represents a vast array of actors musicians writers directors and athletes as well as a variety Eventually it was revealed that 16-year-old "Bree" was played by 20-year-old New Zealand actress Jessica Rose. Jessica Lee Rose (born April 26 1987) is an American -born Actress who was raised in New Zealand. ^[5][6]

Because of lonelygirl15's YouTube popularity, media sources seized upon the story, extensively covering both the search process and the eventual "outing" as a fictional series. She had fooled many people into believing that she was a real 16 year-old.

Afterwards, numerous news sources and talk shows featured interviews with the creators and actors of the series itself. ^{[7][2][8][9][10][11][12][13]}

New York Times reporter Virginia Heffernan expanded on the series of revelations on September 12 out with an article which confirmed Jessica Rose's identity, and revealed the identities of her "co-conspirators", Ramesh Flinders, a screenwriter and filmmaker from Marin County, Calif. Virginia Heffernan (born August 8 1969 is an American journalist Events 1213 - Albigensian Crusade: Simon de Montfort 5th Earl of Leicester, defeats Peter II of Aragon at the , and Miles Beckett, a doctor-turned-filmmaker. Software engineer Grant Steinfeld was also involved in this project, as a photographer. Amanda Solomon Goodfried assisted in their efforts to hide their identities as well as posed as "Bree"'s online alter-ego. Ms. Goodfried's father-in-law, Kenneth Goodfried, handled various legal matters. The personnel involved worked under a non-disclosure agreement, according to Grant Steinfeld. A non-disclosure agreement (NDA also known as a confidentiality agreement, confidential disclosure agreement (CDA proprietary information agreement Steinfeld has verified most of this information to the Times, and provided photographs he took on set of Ms. Rose as proof. ^[2] Also on September 12, the three main creators gave an interview to the Los Angeles Times revealing the third major partner as Greg Goodfried.

Since the fictitious nature of lonelygirl15 has been revealed, the storyline continued to develop via new videos posted to both YouTube and Revver. Revver is a video sharing website that hosts User-generated content. However due to the recent partnership with YouTube and Myspace, videos stopped being posted on Lonelygirl15's Revver account, and now are only viewable via Youtube and MyspaceTV.

Miles Beckett

Miles Beckett (born Miles Zajaczkowski^[23] on February 15, 1978) is an American medical doctor turned filmmaker who is best known for his role in the creation of the lonelygirl15 video series. Glenn Rubenstein (born March 2, 1976) is a writer director musician and journalist based in Northern California. Events 590 - Khosrau II is crowned as king of Persia 1637 - Ferdinand III becomes Holy Roman Emperor Year 1978 ( MCMLXXVIII) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link displays the 1978 Gregorian calendar) A film director, or filmmaker, is a person who directs the making of a Film.

The Los Angeles Times identified Beckett as a "Web-obsessed 28-year-old medical school drop-out^[24]. " The New York Times identified Beckett as a doctor turned filmmaker^[25]. Miles graduated from medical school at UC-San Diego and was in a plastic surgery residency when he decided to leave after 1 year.

After considering work as a consultant to transition out of medicine, Beckett instead decided to produce internet videos. His first production was the internet mini-series "West Wingers," which spoofed White House press conferences.

The idea of creating the lonelygirl15 saga was Beckett's. Beckett spent a lot of time on YouTube and noticed that the most popular original content was videobloggers. YouTube is a video sharing website where users can upload view and share Video clips YouTube was created in February 2005 by three former PayPal employees This page is about the visual medium for the Thai film see Video Clip (2007 film. Beckett imagined creating a story around a videoblogger, and that people would not know if it was real or fake. He met Mesh Flinders at a karaoke-bar birthday party in April 2006. Ramesh Flinders (born 1980 is an American Screenwriter who along with Miles Beckett, created the Lonelygirl15 video series Flinders had been working on a character, a shy but precocious homeschooled teenage girl, who would eventually become Bree. When the two met, they decided to collaborate on the project together. The two then enlisted the help of Greg Goodfried to oversee the business side of things. lonelygirl15 was an interactive web-based video series which began in June 2006 and ended on August 1 2008

Beckett is the editor of the lonelygirl15 videos, sometimes along with Kevin Schlanser. Flinders has credited Miles as the driving force behind the success of lonelygirl15.

Miles is also known for his art nouveau classic titled, "The Great Cloister Caper", completed in 2001-2002 while he lived in Bethesda, MD. Some cite this work as the inspiration behind his future success with lonelygirl15.
