As Congo TV Network prepares for it\u2019s biggest season, the network has shown no sign of slowing down. Eagle View Media Company (EVMC), the managing team behind the new network, vowed to push the bar with it\u2019s popular original content. The company plans to release three new shows on Congo TV Network in the month of February alone.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited for all of these new films. Our investors and partners have put us in a great place to produce some exciting new projects,\u201d said Gerald Wright, Executive Administrative Founder for Congo TV. \u201cWe expect a huge increase in subscribers in the month of February.\u201d<\/p>\n

In February 2018 the company will release the much anticipated show,\u00a0Masters<\/em>. It\u2019s a Reality Show about Hair & Makeup featuring stylists from 10 cities around the country. The company is also releasing\u00a0Girls Nite,\u00a0<\/em>a new cooking show featuring popular Health & Fitness expert, Keaira LaShae\u00a0(Atlanta).<\/em>\u00a0Another show,\u00a0Chosen Generation<\/em>, will feature some of the best College Choirs in the country.<\/p>\n

Completion of the company\u2019s debut feature film,\u00a0The Palace<\/em>, is expected to be finalized by mid-March as well as a new dance series called\u00a0Feel The Beat.<\/em><\/p>\n

As the company prepares to release those new projects, it is already working on a few others which will carry the network into the Summer with more new original material. One of those projects is a Musical Drama featuring Pop, R&B, Gospel, and Trap\/Hip-Hop music.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis story and this idea is magical. There aren\u2019t many Black Musicals and we love a challenge,\u201d said Ro Wright, Director of Programming & Co-Founder of Congo TV Network. \u201cIt\u2019s about music. It\u2019s about Faith. It\u2019s about falling in love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mariah Hester\u00a0(better known as \u201cMimi Dawn\u2019e<\/strong>\u201c)<\/em>, a popular teen artist from\u00a0Shreveport, LA<\/em>\u00a0has been cast to play the leading role in this televised musical. She is the daughter of popular Gospel Musician Dr. Sonya Hester.<\/p>\n

Mimi Dawn\u2019e will play a young lady who aspires to be a Pop Singer but her mother will only allow her to sing Gospel music. A popular rapper hears her sing and develops an interest in her, musically and romantically. She discovers he is not the \u2018thug\u2019 he pretends to be. While helping her get her music career launched she inspires him to do something he boasts that he would never do\u2026 fall in love.\u00a0 Both realize they have similar dreams although they come from two different backgrounds. He is from the streets and she is from the church. As the attraction between these two evolve, her mother is out to put a stop to it all.<\/p>\n

Casme Barnes,<\/strong>\u00a0has been cast to play Mimi\u2019s mother in this film. Barnes,\u00a0of New Orleans, LA<\/em>, has sang across the country on various television shows including Jimmy Kimmel Live. She has been a musical accompanist for rappers and R&B atists including BET & MTV Award Nominee, B.O.B.\u00a0 Barnes was also featured singing on a recent Walmart commercial. While Dawn\u2019e and the uncast rapper will sing Pop and Trap\/Hip-Hop music, Barnes will balance it all out with Gospel and R&B.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis opportunity is the answer to my prayers. I am so grateful to be able to tell a story through music, which I am extremely passionate about,\u201d said Mimi Dawn\u2019e. \u201cI have long dreamed of this door and it\u2019s finally opening!\u201d<\/p>\n

Not only has Eagle View Media Company signed \u201cMimi Dawn\u2019e\u201d to the film deal but it will partner with KLVN Productions to produce the soundtrack for the film. Kelvin Brown (Owner) has done production for popular artists such as Dej Loaf, Oba Rowland, Payroll Giovanni, Travis Porter, Cory Gunz, and G-Eazy. He has also helped to produce the score for other EVMC projects as well, including\u00a0The Golden Mic\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Masters.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI think the best thing about this film is that it is an inspiring film that the whole family can watch,\u201d said Odessa Feaster, Director of Casting and Field Operations for Congo TV. Kita Wright, Director of Production for Congo TV, is excited to film a real musical drama. \u201cIt\u2019s not something you see on television everyday,\u201d he says. \u201cWe plan to make it memorable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what\u2019s so interesting already is how much Mimi and Casme favor. They look like they could be related in real life and their singing abilities are quite similar as well,\u201d said Ro Wright, who is writing and directing the film along with Odessa Feaster.<\/p>\n

Casting and Scheduling is already underway. EVMC plans to begin filming this project by early April 2018 with a film release in the Summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
