DESCRIPTION:
(from Starz's press release, November 2017) "The Field" explores hip-hop and socio-political culture through the eyes of a city's most prolific characters - past, present and future - capturing the essence of a city's personality. Having shaped the culture from within, these characters tell their stories the way it really was, transporting the audience into the underbelly that composes the city, a place that is often seen but seldom accessed. It's a series that showcases the hustle and determination of each city's most iconic artists. It's about their desire to rise out from their community but to never forget the place where they came from. The series takes the viewer into places only miles apart but worlds away and into the grit and grime that covers an entire metropolis. The docu-series is spearheaded by Worldstar Hip Hop and Mass Appeal. Executive produced by Worldstar's Javier Sang (The Field: Violence, Hip-Hop and Hope in Chicago) and Ed Dwyer, alongside Sacha Jenkins ("Being Terry Kennedy," "The (White) Rapper Show," "Fresh Dressed") and Peter Bittenbender ("Avec Eric," Fresh Dressed) of Mass Appeal with Douglas Banker ("World Star TV," The After Party) of Five All in the Fifth Entertainment. Mandon Lovett (The Field: Violence, Hip-Hop and Hope in Chicago) is set to co-direct the premiere episode with Sacha Jenkins and continue on to direct the series. This series will have an eye for maintaining the legacy of Worldstar Hip Hop late founder Lee "Q" Odenat, who was instrumental with the project's creation and development. The deal was negotiated and packaged by Jad Dayeh of WME. Starz retains all global distribution and home entertainment rights to the series. |
