The CLOSET

"The CLOSET has drama on top of drama with drama on top of that and then more drama on top of that.  HAHAHA This series was created in 1998 and is still a fan favorite.  This series will always have a special place in my heart because it was my first project." ----Director Maurice    

Synopsis

Atlanta based, SENWOT NETWORK FILMS, The CLOSET, is an informative, hypnotic and compelling dramatic series which grows on a viewer in the most important way a good television drama series should: by encouraging curiosity about the growth and fate of key characters. 

Created by Maurice Townes & Kevin F. Allen, The CLOSET, offers informative, yet entertaining topics for its mature audience. It takes an in depth look at the lives of a multicultural array of men -- Emory Lawson, Zachary Sledge, Isaiah Edwards, Nathaniel C. Bullock, Brice Hennedy and Ricardo Iglesias.

Serving a bold dose of human life which reflect real stories, important topics such as, STD awareness, is homosexuality a learned behavior, are you born heterosexuality / homosexuality, how homosexuality relates to religion in households, AIDS and drug use, all instill thought provoking insight for viewers. Such questions cleverly create a strong bed of logic, woven into provocative story-lines destined to interest adults within all demographics. The educational content of the series leaves audiences with a strong taste for more. The CLOSET lifts the veil of controversy with its willingness to openly discuss the intimate and spiritual beliefs surrounding all lifestyles. Going where no series has gone before, The CLOSET, is providing stimulating water cooler conversations. 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.
