The new web series The Other Side of Love intends to address issues of infidelity and the “open-marriage” policy. Love’s writer/producer Aireka Muse reveals:
This project came about when I decided to write what I wanted, rather than what my agent felt would appeal to the mainstream. I wanted to create something fresh that touches on a taboo topic and gives multicultural actors the opportunity to play real roles, rather than some of the stereotypical characters that are available to them.
Muse along with director Bille Woodruff (Honey, Beauty Shop) need your help in making this project a reality. They’ve created a Kickstarter campaign to reach their target of $50,000.
Love takes a fresh spin on the topic of marriage and relationships.
Friends and family regard Scott and Charlene (aka Charlie) as the lucky ones. They got married in their mid-20s when the majority of their friends were just figuring out how to make it to the second date.
Now in their mid-30s and married 10 years, the monotony is getting to them. When the taboo topic of an open marriage comes up during a dinner party, Charlie begins to wonder if “being with” someone else might re-ignite their relationship. Or will an open marriage be the beginning of the end?
As Scott and Charlie begin to explore the perimeters of marriage, their experiment in modern love begins to affect the love lives of their best friends.
Everyone around them begins to wonder that if Scott and Charlie are an example of “getting it right,” then why are they striving so hard for “true love”?
