New York City, NY- Bernie Su, creator of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Emma Approved, and Vanity will be delivering the keynote presentation, ‘How to Create an Emmy Winning Web Series,’ at the inaugural Stareable Fest. The talk is scheduled for Friday, July 20th.

Su, arguably the most successful digital episodic creator working in Hollywood, will showcase many of his interactive methods and monetization strategies starting with the groundbreaking multi-platform storytelling of Lizzie Bennet Diaries and Emma Approved, which are the only YouTube-distributed series to date to have won Primetime Emmy Awards. He’ll also cover his work on his Daytime Emmy Nominated Digital Drama Series ‘Vanity,’ starring Denise Richards and Karrueche Tran while featuring exclusive sponsorship from Maybelline.

Su served as the head writer and executive producer for The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and Emma Approved, an Executive Producer and Director for Welcome to Sanditon, and the Executive Producer and Co-Creator of Frankenstein MD, the latter which was co-produced with PBS Digital Studios.
