Our 1st Original
is an 8 Episode limited Sci-Fi Series called:
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
​The series explores the final lives of immortal souls. These souls have lived countless other lives on different planets through the entire universe and have ended up on Earth to unknowingly live out the final lives of their immortality. Each soul is born into/as a human, ready to learn and integrate into our society as normal humans would. Humans are capable of feeling and expressing emotions beyond any other living creature in the universe. Human nature and life is a consolidation of all other lives that have come before it. Making baggage from previous lives ever more beautiful or haunting. We follow the lives of an immortal 2PC, (Two Piece) an up and coming artist in the South African Hip hop scene, and his close friends. We explore his trials and tribulations in becoming successful and learn about his troubled previous lives along the way. Some of his life long friends aren't who they appear to be with ulterior motives governing the movement of the story.
We explore themes of
LOVE
FAMILY
FRIENDSHIP
DECEPTION
SUPER POWERS
wrapped up in the creation and appreciation for music.
