You might know Elizabeth Bennet from Jane Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice. Maybe you know Lizzie Bennet from her vlog on YouTube, a channel that has over 135,000 subscribers and more than 17 million total channel views.

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries was created by Hank Green (of VlogBrothers) and Bernie Su (of BlackBoxTV), two storytellers who wanted to utilize YouTube's full potential.

"I make video blogs, and I know what a powerful medium they are," said Green. "I also know that they're cheap to make. I saw them being mostly ignored by story tellers, and I thought that was dumb."

They wanted to do something brand new on the Internet, which meant they had to get noticed and have a compelling story to tell.

"I think with anything on the Internet, it's always challenging to get discovery," Su said.

As showrunner, Su is involved in the storymaking process from beginning to end, from writing to rehearsal to shooting. In one day of shooting, the team can go through up to 50 pages of script.
