Felicia Day is bringing back her pioneering web series “The Guild” with a feature-length film made possible through a Kickstarter campaign. The project is described by outlets as having surpassed its $5-million goal, with Day and collaborators producing the movie as a continuation and revival of the original series.
Both sources frame the announcement in the context of the show’s early role in online video. IndieWire notes that “The Guild” helped break out on YouTube in 2007 as one of the early standout web series. The Los Angeles Times emphasizes the specific campaign funding milestone and the production approach, including what it calls a Ren Faire twist. Together, the coverage highlights the film’s development and the campaign’s scale, while differing slightly on the emphasis—campaign success and concept in one case, and historical YouTube impact and record-setting performance in the other.
