The CulDeSack Kids is a throwback to a time when social networking meant going outside to play and bullies had to look you in the eye...with some pretty sweet music as well by Suburbia's famous hometown band... Bron Don. 

The project was put in motion on June 26th of this past year at exactly 9:44 PM when Director Rich Akullian heard Jalen Rose call Jay Bilas & Bill Simmons "Cul-de-sac kids" during the NBA draft.  As if he was struck by lightning he immediately thought of creating a 90's clique called "The CulDeSack Kids" with main characters featuring last names Culver, Decrescente & protagonist (Steven Owen) Sackley.  

Within 15 minutes Akullian had already been on the phone with his fellow Producers (Thomas Murray & Eric Shovah) and the journey was officially underway.  Exactly one month later Akullian left his job to focus on this project full time. 

49 days later we found the best cast ever at a crowded audition.  We quickly developed team chemistry and started shooting less than a month later.   With initial intentions of shooting a self-financed full chapterized film the project ran into complications.  Akullian's Father had gone into the hospital with a diabetes complication and eventually lost a long hard battle to save his leg.  

Big Richard was a major character in the overall script and when his health declined the project was an afterthought.   However, he wouldn't "stand" for any cease in the project and we re-wrote the script from the hospital cafeteria.  Upon the first day he was strong enough we shot an adjusted scene and completed a 30 minute pilot of our story.  

We have so many more stories to tell and our journey is just beginning.  


To continue this project we need to be connected to the right network (Netflix, Hulu, FXX, Comedy Central, etc.)  or raise additional finances to stay completely independent.  

With any finances that we raise, we will be donating 10% to be split by Make-A-Wish & The American Diabetes Association.  Without these two organizations our project wouldn't have ever happened.  

Once you have contributed we will reach out to get sizes and any other details to fulfill your perks!
