What is Searching for Stars Hollow about?

Searching for Stars Hollow is a documentary from Ink On Paper Studios that is set to explore the Gilmore Girls‘ role in American cultural history and includes never-before-seen interviews with cast members and behind-the-scenes anecdotes from crew, writers, and directors. The feature-length film “transforms the story you thought you knew of how Gilmore Girls came to life,” according to the project’s Kickstarter page.

For those less versed in the popular series, Gilmore Girls ran for seven seasons between 2000 and 2007, first debuting on The WB, which later became The CW. A four-episode revival series titled Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life debuted on Netflix in 2016. The show followed young mom Lorelai Gilmore (Graham) and her teen daughter Rory (Bledel) as their lives unfolded in the fictional town, Stars Hollow, Connecticut. Bishop played snobbish Emily Gilmore, mother to Loreli and grandmother to Rory, rounding out the titular trio of women.

Who is making Searching for Stars Hollow?
