Description: The South Side of Chicago carries daily danger, and the smallest and simplest of decisions can have life or death consequences for the residents. Life continues as the kids prep for school and their parents shuffle off to work. The young adults of the area are trying to scrape a living for themselves, while the elders sit on their front porches and observe the goings-on. The South Side has the potential to crush dreams, and this coming-of-age series focuses on Kevin, a preteen who embraces the normal rites of childhood, Brandon, who makes a leap of faith to succeed in love and life with Jerrika, Emmett, who seeks guidance from his mother, and Ronnie, who is a drifter struggling to be loved. All of them are linked together by sheer coincidence as they seek redemption.

** Please note the Up-To-Date Actor (UTDA) is not a submission/audition service, meaning no one has listed a specific audition or request for someone to submit. UTDA is an information resource only.

UTDA provides you with information on what projects are currently casting and who is casting. If you are specifically right for a project (based on your demographics and skills) you can use the information on our site to create what we call a “specific general submission.” When available, we provide the submission policy and preference on the casting director’s page but keep in mind since the pandemic all communication should be digital.
