SNEAK PEEK: THE DO NOT ENTER DIAIRES -- An upcoming web series brought to you by Emily Cohn and Emma Orlow.
Dear Internet, I have exciting news! I’ve been working on this project for almost a year now, and I’m so happy that I can finally share it with you all. My best friend Emily Cohn and I started an ongoing web series called The Do Not Enter Diaries, a project devoted to filming the stories of teenagers in their bedrooms. The project was founded by Emily Cohn (who has interned for OC TV and is a Tribeca Film Insitute Fellow) and myself (who has written for places such as Refinery29, BUST Magazine, and The Huffington Post) in January 2012. Emily films and edits the videos, while I interview the teens and run the website/social media. Together, The Do Not Enter Diaries takes you behind the closed doors of teenagers’ hideouts, everywhere from New York to Mumbai. It’s not launching till January 2013, but for now, you can check out our website for more info and watch the sneak peek.
Though I’m extremely dedicated to The Do Not Enter Diaries, this in no way means The Emma Edition is coming to a close; Not only do I promise to still post regularly on this here blog, but I will also continue to do my freelance writing and brand consulting, and whatnot. The only thing that will be changing here on The Emma Edition is that I can now encourage readers to also follow me in my new endeavor at The Do Not Enter Diaries, and hopefully take part in it, too.
THE DO NOT ENTER DIARIES MISSION STATEMENT:
As teenagers, there are so few spaces we can truly claim ownership to. However, a teenager’s bedroom, a magical haven for carving out ones’ personal style—- or more often a place for snacking, studying, and dancing—-says a lot about us. Here at The Do Not Enter Diaries, we believe that the bedroom is a physical manifestation of a diary. The choices we make in our room can say a lot about our aesthetics and philosophies on a deeper level than what sheet patterns we like. The Do Not Enter Diaries is meant for ALL teenagers—meaning we seek to highlight a diverse set of genders, ethnicities, interests, and locations on our site. We’ll be exploring how exactly our bedrooms contribute or contrast who we are as teenagers by uncovering a world kept behind closed doors. Plus, you might just find a little decorating inspiration along the way…
The Do Not Enter Diaries has filmed interviews on a national and global scale and hopes to film YOU next! Seriously. We are really looking forward to hearing from you guys. If you’re 13-19 years old and interested, please contact us HERE.
HOW IT WORKS:
A new bedroom diary will be featured on our homepage every Wednesday at 4pm, beginning with the first Wednesday of January 2013 (then it'll be a full year in the making). SUBSCRIBE TO OUR SITE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR PREMIERE!!
