CLOSET dramatic series grows on viewers in the most
important way a good television drama series should: by encouraging
curiosity about the growth and fate of key characters. One
might easily dismiss the problems that dog some individuals
struggling with their sexual identity, but patience rewards
those who watch enough of The CLOSET's
episodes to care about the humanity of the show's troubled
characters. This series, offers informative, yet entertaining
topics for its mature audience. It takes an in depth look
at the lives of a multicultural array of characters -- Emory
Lawson, Zachary Sledge, Isaiah Edwards, Nathaniel C. Bullock
and his wife Sharon, Carol Henderson, Brice Hennedy, Jeanette
Wellington and Ricardo Iglesias. Serving a bold dose of human
life which reflects real stories such as, STD awareness, forbidden
love, manipulation, religion, AIDS and drug use, all instill
thought provoking insight for viewers. Such questions cleverly
create a strong bed of logic, woven into provocative storylines
destined to interest adults within all demographics. The educational
content of the series leaves audiences with a strong taste
for more. The intrinsic web of love, mystery, lies, manipulation
and deceit become quickly apparent, when viewers open the
door to the first episode of The CLOSET.

After
two years of working to bring this film project to the screen,
funding has given a GREENLIGHT, so production has started
on Racial Boundaries. The swelling Summer humid heat of Baltimore
City's south side during 1995 is the back drop
of this film. The multi-cultural array of talent which fills
out the cast works well in bringing the racial tensions of
inner city Baltimore to life. The streets are filled with
summer love and mixed with urban tension which leads to murder.
Racial Boundaries examines how socioeconomic status of White,
Black/African American, Hispanic, and Asian adolescents affects
their likelihood of dating across racial lines and the racial
characteristics of their romantic partners. "After reading
the script and discussing minor script modifications I wanted
to see this project come to life", stated Victor Bailey
one of two Executive Producers.

The
House of Refuge (HOR) located in Atlanta, Georgia has two
divisions: Assisting HIV/AIDS individuals with housing
and providing Foster Homes for local area children.
The
House of Refuge is growing and moving forward with strong
support from Senwot Nella Productions. James Bailey, Executive
Director of the House Of Refuge states, "our business
is taking the broken human spirit and restoring it body, mind
and soul. We understand that by educating and assisting the
entire person we not only strengthen the individual, but the
extended family as well. Kevin and Maurice have provided HOR
with tremendous exposure and support over the past thirteen
months. We're very grateful."
The
House of Refuge (HOR) located in Atlanta, Georgia has two
divisions: Assisting HIV/AIDS individuals with housing
and providing Foster Homes for local area children.
HOR
housing division consists of 4 four-bedroom homes (i.e. with
basement bedrooms) all located in a community setting. On
any given day approximately 15 adults (i.e. over 21 years
of age) and 9 teenagers (i.e. between the ages of 16 and 20)
call House Of Refuge "home". Because greater than
50% of our residents come from homes that will not accept
them because of their "infection", this will often
be the first safe home some will have experienced. Programs
with emphasis on targeting the root cause of each individual's
HIV/AIDS situation are provided. Through this program each
resident receives services to help prepare them to make the
transition to permanent housing and living independent with
HIV/AIDS . Supportive services typically deal with employment,
education, sexual protection, substance abuse and transportation
issues.
HOR
Foster Home division has assisted in the placing of over 66
children of color in to wonderful homes. Of those 66 children
17 of them have been adopted with SNP's strong assistants.
"We're
very excited about the HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention discussion
sessions Maurice is holding with our teenagers monthly...it's
making a difference. Kevin has donated countless hours of
time and optimistic energy to the HIV/AIDS division his
help has been priceless.", states Bailey.
SNP
was very instrumental with providing financial support and
assistance with establishing the 4th HOR. The 5th HOR will
be established this year.
