Overview
The series tells the story of a single girl who deals with the lonely reality that all her friends are in serious relationships by creating imaginary friends to talk to... who turn out to be serious bitches.
The show stars Eden Riegel, Elizabeth Hendrickson, Brooke Nevin and Connie Fletcher-Staton. Season one guest stars include Michael Traynor, Jessalyn Gilsig, Aaron Staton, Greg Rikaart, James Kee, Chandra West, Brittany Ishibashi, Sam Page, Charlie Koznick, and Billy Aaron Brown. Female cast members go by their real names on the show, while male cast members have character names other than their own.
The series is directed by show creator Andrew Miller. Miller is the sole credited writer on episodes one through five and episodes 7, 10, 12, and 13. Episode 6 is written by Miller and Sam Riegel. Episode 8 is written by Bo Price and Miller. Episode 9 is written by Jeff Poliquin. Episode 11 is written by Nicole Millard and Kathryn Price, who, as a team, also wrote the Disney film The Game Plan.
The episodes are edited by Tatiana S. Riegel, who also edited Lars and the Real Girl, co-edited There Will Be Blood, and won an American Cinema Editors Eddie Award for her work on the HBO film PU-239. Quyen Tran is the Cinematographer. Each episode begins with a short musical introduction and ends with a theme song by Ben Harrison entitled "Not Alone."
Imaginary Bitches episodes have been viewed over 4 million times. In May 2008 Imaginary Bitches became a YouTube Partner, allowing the creators of the show to share revenue from advertising on YouTube video pages.
The show is something of a family affair. Show creator Andrew Miller is married to lead actress Eden Riegel. Riegel's half-sister, Tatiana S. Riegel, edits the episodes, and her brother, Sam Riegel, co-wrote episode 6 and sound edited episodes one and two. Quyen Tran, the cinematographer, is Sam Riegel's wife.
