The creators of a Toronto-based Youtube channel behind viral videos like “Gay Women Will Marry Your Boyfriends” has turned to crowdfunding to make their first full-length feature film, “Almost Adults“—a comedy about female best friends, one straight and one lesbian. According to the Gay Women Channel’s Kickstarter page: “Think Thelma and Louise without all of the killing and cliff jumping.”

It took less than three weeks for the duo that created the Gay Women Channel on Youtube, Adrianna DiLonardo and Sarah Rotella, to raise over $77,777, almost twice their original goal.

Canadian actress Elise Bauman, who rose to internet stardom last year as part of the vampire web series Carmilla, has already been cast to play the film’s lesbian lead. Although Carmilla was not produced by the Gay Women Channel, stars from the web series frequently make guest appearances on GWC videos. The filmmaking duo’s connections to the Carmilla fandom community boosted the campaign’s success.

Contributors listed their favorite fan fiction in the comments and, once the campaign reached $60,000, “Gay Aunt Barbara” agreed to deliver a dramatic reading for the internet. No surprise, “50 Flavors of Creampuff“, a story that puts Carmilla’s characters in a ’50 Shades of Grey’ parody, was the undisputed favorite.

Over the past two years, DiLonardo and Rotella have skyrocketed from amateur filmmakers who vlog to successful media entrepreneurs, proving yet again the power of online LGBT communities to create diverse media on their own terms.
