My friend, Writer-Director-Actor Anthony Anderson has done it again. His critically acclaimed Independent Film The Ties That Bind was well received and his Velocity Magazine and its associated award show has been a hit in the Washington DC area. Now he's back with his latest project a brand new dramatic web series called ANACOSTIA – The Web Series.

ANACOSTIA – The Web Series is a 10 Episode Dramatic Web Series which follows the lives of the residents of ANACOSTIA, a small residential community in Washington D.C. as they navigate through love, betrayal, deception, sex and murder.

Each resident of ANACOSTIA has their own share of painful secrets as well as personal vices which threatens to destroy their peaceful community and all that surrounds it. In the center of the chaos stands the shrewd and manipulative Michael Stephenson who will stop at nothing to get what he wants…..even possibly murder.

When Michael Stephenson goes too far, someone decides to give Michael a taste of his own medicine which sparks a chain reaction that will have implications on all of the residents of ANACOSTIA for years to come.

Created by Anthony Anderson the Writer and Producer of the critically acclaimed Independent Film The Ties That Bind, ANACOSTIA is a new twist on a familiar formula. “I wanted to create a show that was along the lines of Dallas and Knots Landing with a bit of a Sex And The City flair” said Anthony. “The show will have twists and turns along with what we are sure to be controversial story lines which will spark interesting debate I'm sure” Anthony continued.

ANACOSTIA has an ensemble cast which all relish the opportunity to portray such diverse and interesting characters. Included in this great cast are Walter Maxfield Jones, Tamieka Chavis, Kena Hodges, Wil Lash, Anthony Anderson, Chante' Bowser, Pasha Diallo, Terrence Porter, Tia Dae, Jermaine McNeal, Marion Akpan and Kareem Pettaway.

Every city should have neighbors like these.
