EXTRA! EXTRA! The CLOSET: Platinum Edition Volume 2 release date? "Fans hold the key to the release date of the dvd-Drama series The CLOSET", stated Maurice Townes during a press conference held in Atlanta, Georgia on March 2, 2009. Mr. Townes holds the position of Chief Executive Officer of Senwot Nella Productions and is also the Director of the drama series, The CLOSET. The series was first released in 2003 and has had a number of setbacks regarding its release dates. The reasons for the delayed release dates range from Executive Producers of the series,like Michael Staples and Elizabeth Cooke, having hidden self agendas, Television Network Executives embezzling money, Q Television Network, which aired the series, failing, etc. Unfortunately, these setbacks, which have been of no fault of the production company, it's crew and/or cast, but have ultimately caused the fans and supporters of the series to get the short end of the stick. Most have pre-ordered The CLOSET Platinum Edition Volume 2 and due to Mr. Staples actions, the series is in litigation, oncee again. This time around Senwot Nella Productions can only sit on the side lines and wait until the case concludes. Or do we??? "It's clear that the series is loved by many", states, Maurice, as he continues, "on a daily basis Kevin F. Allen and I get nice and some not-so nice fans/supporters that are very passionate about the is the next release coming out? Several have inquired about cast changes, storylines, funding, product placement and sponsoring. It makes me feel wonderful and sad at the same time. That our little series is loved by so many different types of people." On March 15, 2009, the Director of the series will release to fans and supporters how they are holding the release date to the next installment of the series. Insiders from the Press Conference stated," it's a fund raising campaign that gets everyone involved. It was well received." "I think what he's asking for makes sense. It really gets the fans involved and it's a help me, all inclusive effort." , stated one fan. "He apologized and was very real about what was going on. That's what I wanted. ", stated Ricky Pryor, Banker, who attended the Press Conference. Ricky went on to say, "He also gave us a "put up or shut up" offer that was so clear you had to join him and admire his efforts."
