LOS ANGELES, CA (April 12, 2004) - PUNKS (2001, executive produced by Tracy Edmonds and husband Babyface) writer, director and producer PATRIK-IAN POLK has begun production on a new series entitled NOAH’S ARC. Described as Sex and the City meets Queer As Folk and together crashing into Soul Food, NOAH’S ARC is a cool, hip, fresh and fun peak into the lives of four black gay men living in Los Angeles. With this latest project, Polk is out to set the record straight (so to speak) that not all gay people are white. The first season of Noah's Arc will be available for purchase beginning Tuesday, June 22, 2004.

“After the recent boom in gay television with Queer Eye, Boy Meets Boy, Will and Grace, Queer As Folk, I really noticed the complete unwillingness of producers to feature positive black gay and lesbian characters in television and film. So, rather than sitting around feeling bitter and neglected, I decided to create a platform for these stories to be told,” commented Polk regarding his latest endeavor.


Noah, Alex, Ricky and Chance are a quartet of closely knit friends living life in Los Angeles. Noah (Darryl Stephens) is a struggling screenwriter embarking on a new love affair with newly out and much more successful screenwriter, Wade (Jensen Atwood). HIV/AIDS counselor Alex (Rodney Chester) always keep it real with his clients but struggles to do the same with his hunky lover. Ricky (Christian Vincent) owns a trendy and hip clothing store on Melrose and is the playboy of the group, while college professor Chance (Doug Spearman) has recently married and adopted his partner’s three year old daughter less than a year after first meeting.


Full of humor, excitement and insight, NOAH’S ARC gives today’s black gay community a voice.


The NOAH’S ARC series will debut in the summer of 2004 on DVD. NOAH’S ARC will also serve as the launching pad for several up and coming music artists.


Written, directed and executive produced by Patrik-Ian Polk, NOAH’S ARC is produced by Carol Ann Shine and Jasmyne Cannick.

NOAH’S ARC stars Darryl Stephens, Jensen Atwood, Rodney Chester, Doug Spearman and Christian Vincent.
