LIFE IN 3D
CASTING CALL
SERIES DESCRIPTION
Life in 3D is a musical drama about rising rap artist 3D Na’Tee, who struggles to hold her life together as tangled relationships and personal ambitions spiral out of control. When her carefully constructed world begins to unravel, she must confront the one battle she’s spent years avoiding — herself — fighting to find balance and reclaim her life before it slips away completely.
FORMAT: (see UPTOWN BUTTERFLY)
Life in 3D is an intimate, music-driven drama that blends storytelling with immersive performance sequences. Gritty, personal, and occasionally surreal, the series moves fluidly between quiet, introspective moments and high-energy musical interludes.
