Or So The Story Goes Web Series - Fairy Tales Reimagined

Fairy Tales 2.0

Or So The Story Goes (love that title!) is a web series from Outtake Productions that puts a dark, post-modern spin on classic fairy tales.

Each season will tell one complete story.

Welcome To Canisville

The first arc is entitled Little Rosemary, an updating of Little Red Riding Hood.

The debut episode introduces us to the  small town of Canisville.  

Among the residents we meet Hazel, an intelligent, precocious 12-year old who is determined to solve the mysterious disappearance of her classmate Rosemary.

As Hazel delves further into the circumstances surrounding Rosemary's disappearance, she uncovers dark secrets about her sleepy little town. 

Secrets that may place her in very real danger.

A Good Mix

Or So The Story Goes has a lot going for it, including:

  • a genuinely creepy tone

  • some surprisingly tense and suspenseful moments

  • charismatic young cast

I also loved the haunting, folksy opening and closing theme songs by Judith Avers.

This project has a lot of potential, and I am curious to see the kind of treatment other classic fairy tales will receive.
