“Rochelle” is a three-episode series about a woman who hires an escort to break her ex-husband’s heart. It premiered on Monday, August 27 on WIGS, the number one scripted channel on YouTube. The series is written by Scott Turow and directed by Rose Troche (The L Word and Safety of Objects). Rosanna Arquette (Pulp Fiction) as the ex-wife and Nazanin Boniadi (Iron Man and How I Met Your Mother) plays the escort.
Rosanna Arquette tells us about what attracted her to working on a web series. Of its appeal she said to TheStarScoop.com,
“I didn’t even think about it in those terms. It was Rodrigo Garcia, Jon Avnet incredible directors forming a studio on the Internet, and getting to do a piece
that was written by Scott Turow, which is wonderful writing.
For me, I didn’t think of it that way. I just thought of it as maybe getting the chance to do good work and that was what it was. There was nothing different about
it. It was all professional shot, with the best cinematographers, the best directors, the best actors and writers that get together and it just happens to be on the
Internet, which is pretty exciting.
So far, WIGS has 16 million viewers…almost better than a network television show. I’m so Internet un-savvy, you know? I don’t know how to do any of it. It’s geared
for a person like me. They’ve made it really accessible and easy for a middle aged woman to log on and watch any time you want, which I think is really cool.
