ANACOSTIA - THE SERIES

UPDATE: ANACOSTIA THE WEB SERIES HAS JUST BEEN PICKED UP BY LOCAL AFFILIATE DCTV IN WASHINGTON DC BEGINNING IN MID OCTOBER CATCH THE SHOW IN DC ON COMCAST 95 AND RCN 10PM TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS.

Anthony Anderson's DC based soap opera 'ANACOSTIA' debuted at 2pm, Friday Sept 11, 2009. Anderson , the writer and producer of the award winning Independent Film 'The Ties That Bind' has created an independent web series like no other. ANACOSTIA-The Series follows the lives of four friends as they navigate through love, deceit, betrayal, sex, and death. This 13 episode series will be filmed on location in several areas including Washington DC's Anacostia neighborhood, Landover Maryland, Baltimore Maryland, Virginia and New York City.

Born in DC and raised on Chicago Street in Southeast DC, Anderson moved to Montgomery County suburbs during his last year at Douglass Junior High in DC. Yet, he never forgot his hometown. Anderson still believes Anacostia reared him to be a survivor. He named his production company, Southeast Boy Productions, as homage. "The show is escapism," Anderson says. “It shows Anacostia in a completely different way that I don’t think people get a chance to see. People usually see 'local teen gets shot', but, they don’t see everyday that there are people out there working, striving and have great lives."
