Two actresses who star together in a well-received web series are bringing their chemistry to a feature film, and if the buzz generated by its trailer is any indication, it will score a sizable audience of its own. Elise Bauman and Natasha Negovanlis, who portray the two lead characters in the web series Carmilla, will be at the forefront of Almost Adults, an upcoming film produced by the Gay Women Channel.
In Almost Adults, Negovanlis and Bauman will portray a pair of best friends who find themselves struggling to keep their relationship together as their lives diverge from each other. The film was initially funded by a March 2015 Kickstarter campaign that ultimately raised $122,056 CAD ($91,999.70 USD). Production began in May, and at the recent Buffer Festival in Toronto, a trailer arrived. Judging from it, we can expect Almost Adults to feature plenty of banter between its leads, a handful of witty one-liners, and a coming-of-age story filled with young romance.

The trailer has been a hit, gathering more than 140,000 views in its first day online. The popularity of Carmilla is no doubt raising the hype level for Almost Adults; despite its unconventional premise–it’s a vampire web series sponsored by a feminine hygiene company—Carmilla gathered a devoted following and earned a second season.
The Gay Women Channel hasn’t yet shared a release date for Almost Adults, though the trailer’s description invites viewers to join the film’s mailing list if they’d like to receive regular updates.
