Imaginary Bitches on the big screen? Sort of, kind of. The popular web series Imaginary Bitches will play in movie theaters as part of the ITVfest next week. Join creator Andrew Miller as he, Eden Riegel (All My Children) and some of the cast will be doing a Q &A following the screenings of episodes 1, 4 & 11 on Monday, August 3 @2pm. On Thursday August 6, Andrew and Eden will be back to introduce the show as the episodes will screen again @4pm.
Imaginary Bitches was a labor of love for Miller that quickly turned into the little show that could, garnering a Daytime Emmy Nomination along side staples such as All My Children and The New York Times. “This nomination is beyond our wildest dreams”, said Miller when asked about the shows Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding New Approaches In Daytime. “When I asked our friends to come over and shoot some raunchy videos with my wife and me, the main reaction I got was fear. I only wish I could’ve told them they might win a Daytime Emmy award for their troubles”. (The Daytime Emmy Awards will be broadcast on Sunday, August 30 on the CW @8pm.)
Eden Riegel, who grew up in front of audiences on stage in “Les Miserables” and on our television screens as Erica Kane’s daughter Bianca on All My Children, hopes that this appearance at the festival will give the show more exposure. Says, Riegel, “Imaginary Bitches is my proudest creative experience and I hope the ITV Festival will introduce the show to an even wider audience– I just want more people to see the Bitches!”
Here is a summary of the episodes to be shown:
Episode 1: “It not easy making new imaginary friends”– When Eden’s girlfriends are all too busy with their boyfriends to talk about the details of her amazing one night stand, she decides to create a a new friend to celebrate with.
Episode 4: “A New Leper in the Colony”–Jealousy erupts when Eden meets a new, single friend who’s very real.
Episode 11: “Only Crazy Girls Quife”–Eden thinks she’s found The One. The sex is amazing. But the part where she tries to keep him from thinking she’s crazy…not so great.
