She's in London

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

She's in London is a British LGBT web series set in London, England. The series is composed of six ten-minute episodes and revolves around the closure of a fictional lesbian Soho bar and a love triangle between a bar tender, her best friend and her best friend's ex.[1] It stars Miri, Clare Hopes, and Joanna Ludlow and is distributed via the US-based subscription site TelloFilms. She's in London marks the first non-US series for TelloFilms.[2]

Funding for the series was partially raised through a successful Kickstarter campaign.[3][4] The soundtrack includes tracks from a number of LBQ artists and bands including Lucy Spraggan, MIRI, ME and Deboe, Greymatter, Playing House and DJ Sarah Cooper.[3] The series bills itself as the first LBQ web series to come out of the United Kingdom.[5]
