Star Maxx Media Brings Hollywood Closer to Atlanta
Star Maxx Media has embarked on producing an episodic drama based and filmed in
Atlanta, Ga.
NottHeads talks to Star Maxx Media CEO and Sr. Producer Carl Millender.
You don't have to go to Hollywood to be on television or to shine more light on
your rising star, get connected to Star Maxx Media. You don't have to go to the
west coast, but you have to get to Atlanta to take part in this project.
"Atlanta Homicide" is a television episodic drama about the Atlanta Police Department- Homicide Division. The series centers around the lives of six officers as they investigate local murders and related crimes. The series is a blend of CSI, NYPD Blue and Unsolved Mysteries from the streets of Atlanta.
It's happening right now, on the streets of Atlanta, the filming and development of a new television series. The approach is different, so the finished product will look different, but the outcome of all this activity will be as expected, SUPER. NottHeads would like to thank CEO and Co-Producer Carl Millender for taking the time to give us all some insight as to what's going on in Hollywood's new Southeastern locale - "The ATL".
NottHeads: Give us an overview of the project.
CM: First let me say welcome to the NottHeads audience and stay tuned! I just want to let you know that we have a terrific show. Star Maxx Media will be launching 13 episodes for the first season in the next few months. We are half way there in regards to episodes already completed; Atlanta Homicide has a great cast, crew and writers. Atlanta Homicide is the brainchild of Hattie Lemon and myself. You can expect to see this very soon, as early as Spring of 2008 in test markets around the Atlanta area. Then see the series on television in the Fall of 2008, syndicated across the world on various different channels. Keep your eyes on the lookout for this series, Atlanta Homicide.

We want to be there and will be there very soon, watch out for Star Maxx Media.
