New Talk: Citizen Kate TV, Carey Lundin, Viva Lundin Productions

New Talk: Citizen Kate TV, Carey Lundin, Viva Lundin Productions

Citizen Kate TVCarey Lundin has got issues. That's why she quit her job as creative director at a political ad firm. She channels her angst, mistreatment as a child and social fears, through a character she created known as Citizen Kate, who naively trusts everyone (Picture are Citizen Kate and Senator John  Edwards).

When Obama launched his candidacy, she plied her pal Kate with beers, who at the time cared little about politics, and convinced her to cover the launch. Within a week, The Economist had written a piece about this highly original approach to politics. Within three months Hollywood called. But it's taken a year and half for projects grown on the internet to get respect as original material that can make the leap to traditional media. Millions of views later, here's Carey Lundin to tell some tales of the trail, what it's taught her and what you can learn from her angst, which now, she's glad she has.
