Overview

Team up with DJ, a top basketball recruit, along with his friends, on a hilarious yet insightful journey  at the #1 division 1 school in the nation. He's used to winning basketball games but can he defeat his greatest opponent yet and win the game of life?!
Off The Court is a comedy web series about the life and journey of the freshman basketball player DJ and the expectations placed on him by playing at a high-ranked division 1 university, along with everything else that pertains to just being a college student. The web series will go in-depth in the lives of the main characters and their backgrounds as well as incorporate the cities where I have lived and explore the cultures of each region-Syracuse, NY, Philadelphia, PA and Birmingham, AL.

Also, Off The Court will initiate dialog about issues many young people are facing today, such as bullying, peer pressure, body image, drugs, etc and take a closer look at student athletes; the preferential treatment they receive as well as the misconceptions that plague them.

Although, Off The Court is a comedy, I want my work to inspire others. I believe in comedy with a message. 

Bio

I was born and raised in Syracuse, NY and I am a graduate from the University at Albany in Albany, NY.  A couple years ago I realized my dream of screenwriting. I took online courses, attended seminars, entered contests, read several scripts and books to learn more about the craft. I have written a screenplay, and several television shows in different genres. Even though screenwriting is my #1 passion, I am also very passionate about directing as well and directed a short video. After attending the American Black Film festival I decided to turn one of my television shows into a web series.

This is not just a hobby to me, or a one-time thing. This is what I want to do with my life for the rest of my life. I have helped others fulfill their dreams for so long; this is the time to fulfill my dreams! This web series is a springboard for me, to creating other web series. Being on set of an independent film, all the seminars I’ve attended and the books I’ve read just reassure me that this is what I was meant to do! Please help in making my dream a reality!

Where Your Money Is Going

Your contribution will be greatly appreciated and will create my web series! Because this is my first web series I am starting from the beginning.  I have used my own funds and am seeking help for the rest!

Your contribution will go towards equipment, software, supplies, wardrobe for the actors, copyrighting scripts, marketing & promotional supplies, office space, set design, food for the staff and post-production.

Other Ways You Can Help

I would appreciate your contribution but I would also appreciate your connections! Please spread the word! Tell your friends, family, everyone you know about my web series! Also, follow me on social media.
