Show provides a modern spin on college life; “brings back the funny”.
Cheyney, Pennsylvania, September 13, 2011 — Eighteen years after last witnessed the unique experience of the black college campus, writer Cedric Perry looks to prove HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) are still “A Different World”.
The 25 year-old author and Cheyney University alum steps into a new arena with his new web sitcom, “We’re Just Talking”. The show gives an entertaining yet insightful look at modern day black culture, shown through the eyes of two college roommates from separate walks of life.
“The objective of the show is to highlight the strengths and opportunity areas of the African-American community,” says Perry. ‘We’re Just Talking’ is designed to introduce a deeper outlook of my generation to those not familiar, and reinforce our objectives to those who are.”
“We’re Just Talking” (WJT) also highlights the varying personalities and relationships amongst African-Americans. Whether through outlandish quips from trendy nerd Derrick Combs (played by Kyle Morris), or the cat-mouse relationship of suburban product Andre Hawkins and campus “fashionista” Melyssa King (Stefan Matthews and Courtney Nicole Dean, respectively), the show truly captivates its audience. More importantly, the show has a cause. WJT is a call to action for African-Americans to support their own products, sustain negativity, and succeed despite difficult odds.
Perry states that the show has taught him such, and filming it is one of his most enjoyable experiences. “I love doing the show,” he expresses. “The cast is great, and when people see the characters, they will indulge.”
Debuting last month to a positive response, Perry looks to film the remainder of the season. He feels fully confident that as the show grows, people will start talking about “We’re Just Talking.”
