The Urban Christian Comedy leader, No Joke Entertainment (NJE)
is set to produce Urban Faith Based content for cable and syndicated
television outlets. The Columbia, South Carolina based production
company will partner with (nearby) Cayce, South Carolina based
production facility, Genesis Studios to produce original television content for worldwide television distribution.
NJE is currently in production on an un-named
reality series and is set to deliver a pilot by the end of May.
Immediately after wrapping production on this current production,
Executive Producers Akintunde and Eunissa Warnock will immediately
begin development on a "tight lipped" talk show pilot.
Genesis Studios and
it's fully functional production facility will provide the work space
to produce this content. Additionally, through the relationship with
Genesis Studios, NJE is set to develop, produce, and deliver scripted
dramatic and comedy series, along with a series of television movies
that will air on television before heading for a video release. Says
company President and veteran comedian, writer, and producer,
Akintunde, "The urban faith based audience is by far, the most
under- served demographic in the market place. Most people really don't
get us. We intend to service this demo while insuring that all content
is palatable for the general market audience, as well." Akintunde has the unique skill set to deliver this content, as he served as Monologue Writer on the syndicated series, "It's Showtime at The Apollo" for 3 seasons - along with television writing credits on the " BET Awards", " NAACP Image Awards", and work for hire screenwriting credits with the likes of fellow comedian, Chris Tucker and Mega Pastor, Bishop Eddie L. Long .
