quarterlife

Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, the creative minds behind, “My So-Called Life,” are independently launching quarterlife, a new Internet series about life in your ’20s with an accompanying social network where creative types can meet and exchange ideas. The show’s plot focuses on Dylan, an aspiring writer who slaves away at a women’s magazine and uses a personal blog (which graphically details the lives of her two roommates and the boys who live next door) as a creative outlet for her talent. Thirty-six eight-minute webisodes will roll out twice each week on MySpaceTV, and members of the quarterlife community will be invited to participate in the ongoing creation of the series through writing and video submissions.
