Spanning from the north end of Central Park to just below the Bronx – HARLEM is THE
mecca and sits at the epicenter of Black culture. This legendary birthplace of all things
cool is where Black politics, fashion, activism and social enclaves collide. Nowadays,
most speak fondly of the great poets and artists of Harlem and its Renaissance as if the
time has passed. Some assume that the genius of Langston Hughes or the tenacity of
Malcolm X are of a bygone era. However, for the true Harlemites it is clear that the
Harlem renaissance has just begun! And behind it all there are stories that have never
been told. The unsung heroes of THE HARLEM Renaissance were and ARE the black
gay (same gender loving) men. For the first time ever, these men stand up and take
credit for being the trailblazers that they are. In this one of a kind docuseries, the men
who have historically posted up behind the curtain will stand front and center ready to to
steal the show and make us fall in love with their stories. This is ALL THE BOYS.

Strata is an eight-hour sci-fi / drama/ thriller. 

It is present day in San Francisco, the bustling capital of technological innovations. Cloaked by secrecy and misdirection, the opposite concepts of altruism and mass annihilation are cunningly merged, with devastating effect. A seemingly altruistic politician, who also happens to be a psychopath, offers the promise of a better, more compliant world. He is the leader of a One World Order organization, referred to as the Cosmocracy. This group has successfully developed groundbreaking technology, which provides the organization with the means to eliminate free will, and repopulate the earth with genetically engineered, superior human beings.

Increased reports of abductions, along with failing economies, the effects of climate change, wars, and the complete reliance on technology for human survival has left the mass population in fear and disarray. The world appears to be coming apart in very fundamental ways. Under the cover of this unfolding chaos, The Cosmocracy meticulously initiates its master plan for mass annihilation and repopulation, using a carefully conceived strategy to abduct people and replace them with their race of superhumans.

Four Seasons follows Charisse (Nia Fairweather) and Braxton (David J. Cook) as they navigate the high and low tides of their relationship. It is a peek into what happens when expectations and things left unsaid collide.

Will they be able to ride the seasons of change or be crushed by them? Only time will tell!
