Miles Beckett

Miles Beckett is one of the creators of the lonelygirl15 saga.

The Los Angeles Times [1]identified Beckett as a "Web-obsessed 28-year-old medical school drop-out." The New York Times [2] identified Beckett as a doctor turned filmmaker.

Beckett also produces the internet mini-series "West Wingers".

The idea of creating the lonelygirl15 saga was Beckett's. He met Mesh Flinders at a karaoke-bar birthday party in April 2006. Flinders had been working on a character, a shy but precocious teenage girl, who would eventually become Bree. The pair eventually enlisted software engineer Grant Steinfeld to take photographs and help develop a Web site, and lawyer Greg Goodfried to help produce the shoot.
