Over The Rainbow
at Emerald City Comic
Con 2013
Los Angeles, CA –
Geek Icon STEPHANIE THORPE to moderate panel celebrating 35th
Anniversary of legendary comic series “ElfQuest” at the Emerald City Comic Con
2013 on Saturday, March 2, 2013.
Joined by creators
Wendy and Richard Pini, you’re invited to share in an examination of all things
“ElfQuest”: past, present and an exciting look ahead at what the future holds
for this beloved series.
Recently announced
on the front page of Variety, Thorpe and producing partner Paula Rhodes acquired
the film/TV rights to the ElfQuest franchise. As one of the driving forces
behind the award-winning cyber-phenom “ElfQuest: A Fan Imagining”, Thorpe will
bring her unique perspective to the lively discussion. This short live-action
production has had over 300,000 views since its debut, earning numerous awards
and accolades from film festivals, conventions and the media with over 100
articles and interviews to date.
Thorpe comments, "I
think ElfQuest resonates with fans on so many levels. Wendy and Richard Pini are
really incredible visionaries and the art is absolutely beautiful. People are
also really attracted to the grand adventures that Cutter and his tribe go on,
and despite being elves, these conflicts make for very human
stories."
Her acting &
producing work continues in returning series “Shelf Life”
(www.shelflifeseries.com), which has completed 4 seasons of 40 episodes, and was
featured at Comic-Con 2012 and at Social Media Week in LA.
And coming soon,
Thorpe creates and stars in the new series “Slumber Con.” Touted as ‘The
View...for nerds’, Thorpe and fellow geek girl Jennifer Landa host slumber
party-style chats about the latest in nerd news, entertainment, crafts, food
& style (www.slumbercon.com). Thorpe is also one of the writers, directors,
producers & actors in the new comedy series “The Ladies & The Gents,"
exploring the shenanigans during ‘One night, One club, Two restrooms’
(theladiesandthegents.com), which will premiere in mid-March 2013.
A growing presence
in the New Media scene, Thorpe is in demand as an expert panelist & speaker,
a host and presenter, a writer & producer, content creator, actress and
director. She speaks at events around the country, appearing on such panels as
Geek Girls Create at WonderCon 2012 and The Most Dangerous Women at Comic-Con at
SDCC 2012. She was honored to speak on 3 panels at Comic-Con 2012 and
GeekGirlCon 2012; and she appeared on 2 panels at Stan Lee's Comikaze in
September 2012, with her hit series “Shelf Life” featuring at Social Media Week
