Leesa Dean is a writer/self-taught animator and Chilltown is my brainchild. Primarily a writer, I’ve sold a couple of series to TV and production companies but never got anything into production (much less on the air.) Frustrated, I taught myself how to animate (actually hadn’t even drawn anything since middle school so it was a pretty intense undertaking.) Five years later, I’ve completed three series. Chilltown is the first I’m dropping (I’m a hip-hop head and it’s kind of my love letter to hip-hop–with a twisted sense of humor!).
Chilltown focuses on the lives & mis-adventures of 3 hip-hop heads (G, Marv & Plad), plus G’s wannabe mogul cousin K Deuce and K Deuce’s girl, Lele. Most of the episodes focus around the music biz and many are designed to skewer rap & pop culture.
