Today we’d like to introduce you to An’Darrio Abrams.
Thanks for sharing your story with us An’Darrio. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Chasing: Reality, LLC originally started with just one now-popular show known as ‘Chasing: Atlanta’, which captures the hidden individual and collective struggles of incredibly diverse LGBTQ+ personalities. This show started with Co-Creator Terry Kevon Burns and myself as we worked hard to get it to where it is today. For me, it started as a job, but then it became a passion. With only two seasons into the series, I have decided to expand the brand into creating a new network to show not just the community within Atlanta. Chasing: Reality has expanded to Dallas where Chasing: Dallas was formed and our newest city, Chasing: LA. With only three years and seven million Views (collectively), who knows how far the brand would go as there has been so many opportunities aligned for the company.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Of course, every business goes through its ups and downs from production to cast! There are times where production can not make it to scenes and there are also times where cast members refuse to film with their enemies (LOL!). As I am the only editor for all cities, I have to prioritize and make sure episodes come out on time and make sure the production teams do their part to make this a smooth process.
There are often times where I would be up until 6 AM editing or mapping out our storyboards, and then head to my 9 to 5 two hours later.
Please tell us about Chasing: Reality.
Chasing: Reality is an entertainment network designed to showcase the LGBTQ+ Community. I specialize in producing, editing, and directing. I am proud that it is still a growing company where it has reached millions of people from all across the world. What sets us apart is that we are original!
