DC
Homegrown Entertainment is the culmination of two DC-born and raised women. Our vision and goal is
to write, direct and produce television programming and
films that tell interesting and thought provoking stories.
Our concepts are fresh and original and
ready to be told. For too long, programming choices
about people of color
have been limited by various controlling factors.
Mainly, how can you tell the story if you
don't know the story?
We have also grown tired of the
obvious void in television/cable programming that accurately
represents other facets of the urban experience... in other
words, we don't all live in "the hood." We are overdue
and sadly lacking in the choices given to us for
entertainment by the mainstream mediums. It's
time someone raised the banner a bit higher, which is why
DC Homegrown Entertainment
was birthed.
When we realized that we both had the same driving force and
concern -- to produce better television programming and
films and center them around the urban experience -- we knew this was
the confirmation we had individually sought. We got
together and decided to form DC
Homegrown Entertainment and pool our collective
creative energies.
The women behind the
vision are:
Kothia
Nichole Worsley, a native Washingtonian
whose family roots and ties are deep in the Washington, DC
community. She comes from a
family of entrepreneurs who strongly believe in making your
mark on history. Kothia's background includes
photojournalism, writing poetry and business. She's a graduate of
Calvin Coolidge High School in DC and the Fashion Institute
of Technology in New York City. She has also completed
additional training including classes and seminars
at the Los Angeles Screenwriting Expo.
Linda Proctor, also of Washington, DC
has a background in writing, graphics, and social and healthcare
marketing . She attended DC public schools and is a graduate
of Calvin Coolidge High School. She attended the University
of the District of Columbia and the USDA Graduate school
where she studied journalism. Her background
includes writing, film editing, and web design.
She has also completed additional training including
classes and seminars at the Los Angeles
Screenwriting Expo.
Kothia and Linda grew up together
in northeast, Washington, DC.
They were the founders of several community entertainment
groups that included dance and fashion modeling.
Who knew that what we did for fun and
entertainment was preparing us for the journey of a
lifetime? And to think, it all started with a
vision.
