Actor and social media personality Akhnanten Burrowes, the talent behind the comical online skits featuring the characters Bev and Eudora, has announced on his Instagram that a Bev sitcom is on the horizon. Burrowes has partnered with local production company, Boardhouse Productions, to make the show. Burrowes also disclosed that he will be hosting live shows.
This is yet another achievement for Burrowes this year; he won both Social Media Personality Of The Year and Actor Of The Year at this year’s Gine On?! People’s Choice Awards in March.
Production partner Boardhouse Productions is helmed by Stockon Miller, himself an award winning filmmaker, having received Best Web Show or Series, the People’s Choice Award, and the Award of Excellence at the Barbados Visual Media Awards in 2014, 2015, and 2108 respectively.
Miller is the director of Barbados’ first sci-fi horror film The Land We Call Home and the sci-fi short film Visitors, which is available on YouTube. The short was screened at the Cave Hill School of Business and Management in August as part of a fundraising movie night for his next project Into the Darkness.
Along with the news, Burrowes extended an opportunity to his fans to be a part of the upcoming show. Applications can be sent to bevproductions246@gmail.com, along with a head shot, full body shot, short bio, and the applicant’s talent.
