WEB SERIES
Growing up in the streets, young men are forced to make difficult decisions in a place where it's not always easy to tell right from wrong.
Oldhead is a dramatic urban crime series set in Philadelphia aiming to give the audience insight on some of the socioeconomic issues inner-city youth face such as drugs, violence, and a lack of resources. An “oldhead” is an authoritative figure in the Philadelphia community who passes down wisdom to the younger generation. While producing this show, we aimed to highlight leaders such as coaches, mentors and others that help our young people become productive citizens.
