FYI, Brooklyn goes beyond Williamsburg.
Amazon’s new web series, “The Ave” is making new waves across Brooklyn.
“The Ave” revolves around a group of entrepreneurs trying to rise from the ashes of poverty to create legitimate black-owned businesses in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Ironically, they resort to committing fraud to make their dream a reality. Creator Bobby Ashley, 23, describes the web series as HBO’s “The Wire” meets modern-day urban Brooklyn.
“Over the years, so many acclaimed web series has transitioned into television and we hope that happens for us on HBO or Showtime,” says Ashley. “As a Brownsville, native, I feel a responsibility to showcase our culture and help dispel stereotypes. The series addresses prevalent issues in the community such as police brutality, absentee parents, and poverty. Time to change the narrative.”
The young writer/director lives at Marcus Garvey Village housing projects with his mother, creates his projects on the streets of Brownsville, and uses his mom’s apartment as the set.
“‘The Ave’ highlights things that they don’t talk about in Brownsville: generational curses, suicide, depression, peer pressure,” and added that all the entertainment was “Brooklyn style,” Ashley’s team told Pix 11.
