Videos by LonelyGirl15 started appearing on YouTube over the summer. She's supposedly a teenager who is homeschooled by religious parents who don't know she's creating videos online. Her friend Daniel helps her with the videos and they often talk back and forth across their videos.
LonelyGirl15 created more videos detailing the dramas of her so-called life, and more fans flocked to her online video diaries.
Along the way, people have started questioning whether she even exists, and for good reason: She’s just a little too charming, her videos a little too well edited, and her story a little too neatly laid out.
It turns out LonelyGirl15 is crafted by a group of filmmakers as an art project.
It is the birth of a new art form.
Watch more videos of LonelyGirl15.
