be a hipster in LA, and what it is like to fall in love with fellow hipsters who are too cool for

love.The shows plot revolves around two hipsters who are both living in Silver Lake, Los

Angeles, who keep crossing paths but can't seem to get to the next level of actually

talking.== History ==

Hipsterhood was inspired and written by Shilpi Roy, a director producer who moved to

Silver Lake, LA in 2007 to follow her dream of becoming a filmmaker.In an interview with

Shilpi Roy, it states that when she moved to Silver Lake, she did not see herself as a

hipster.Shilpi bought a pair of skinny jeans and it made her ask the question ‘does that make

me a hipster?', which created an identity crisis.Shilpi started analysing the hipsters around

her and that is where the idea for the dialogue came from.The first season was solely funded

by Shilpi’s own savings.The second season is being funded by a kickstarter campaign which

launched on Feb 4 2013 and successfully raised $7,041 beating their original goal of

$5000.Shilpi Roy started her career working for Warren Littlefield, the former head of

NBC.After attending the USC School of Cinematic Arts,

where she made the award-winning short film The Indian & the Samurai, Shilpi worked for

controversial companies such as Brave New Films, and PlayboyTV.== Plot ==


The plot surrounds two hipsters - Cereal Guy and Faux Fur Girl - who are too cool for each

other, but too awkward for themselves.The majority of the "dialogue" takes the form of the

characters' thoughts as they consider talking to one another.The characters, played by

Elizabeth Ferraris and Kit Williamson, always obsess about what to say or do, resulting in

awkwardly silent interactions in real life.Daniel Vincent Gordh of the Lizzie Bennet Diaries

will be a new character in season 2.== Season 1 ==
