Spike Lee's Lil' Joints

Spike Lee's Lil' Joints (2015-2016)

EndedReality show

More than a year ago, we sat with Spike (whom many of us worked with on his prior ESPN Film Kobe Doin' Work), and he expressed a desire to shine a light on stories that he was personally passionate about and felt should be told. Additionally, he wanted to empower up-and-coming young filmmakers, and was fascinated by not only the narrative flexibility and freedom of short form content, but also its malleability when it comes to distribution. And as these sentiments fall very much in line with our core beliefs at Exit 31, the conversation moved very quickly, and Spike Lee's Lil Joints was born.

The Ministry of Time
Upcoming

The Ministry of Time

The Ministry of Time, a newly established government department, is gathering ‘expats' from across history in an experiment to test the viability of time-travel. Commander Graham Gore (an officer on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 Arctic expedition) is one such figure rescued from certain death – alongside an army captain from the fields of the Somme, a plague victim from the 1600s, a widow from revolutionary France, and a soldier from the seventeenth century.

The expats are placed with 21st century liaisons, known as 'bridges', in unlikely flatshares. Gore has to learn about contemporary life from scratch: from air travel to industrial warfare, from feminism to Spotify, from cinema to indoor plumbing; and he must negotiate cohabiting with the ambitious modern woman who works as his bridge. After an awkward beginning, the pair start to find pleasure and comfort in each other's company, developing a relationship that is simultaneously tender, intense and profoundly unprofessional; and the expats, adrift in a new era, form friendships that ground and support them in the lonely 21st century, where they have outlived everyone they ever knew and loved.

When a deeper conspiracy at the Ministry begins to reveal itself, the bridge must reckon with what she does next. Will she save or sacrifice the exiled misfits she has come to care for so deeply?
