‘Carmilla’s Web Series Stars Lead Feature Film ‘Almost Adults’

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.

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.
