SDG Quantum Productions ‘The Uptown Chronicles’ trailer has landed four huge nominations at the upcoming New Jersey Webfest, landing amidst the leading nominations for a project at the prestigious film festival.
‘The Uptown Chronicles’ is nominated for Outstanding Trailer, Outstanding Fantasy, Outstanding Script, and Best Director of a Thriller, Sci-Fi, or Fantasy. For Outstanding Script, it marks the third consecutive year that screenwriter Alonge Hawes has garnered a nomination in that category. He was previously nominated for the screenplays for 1st and 3rd episodes of the heist series Silver & Gold. The nomination for Best Director in a Thriller, Sci-Fi, or Fantasy is shared between Hawes and Steven Goard, also marking Hawes’s third consecutive nomination in that category and Goard’s first. Hawes previously won that category in 2023, again for his directing work on Silver & Gold.
The four nominations places ‘The Uptown Chronicles’ in a three-way tie for second amongst nominees. The pilot for the family drama ‘He’ll Be Home for Christmas’, written & directed by Seth Chitwood and the comedy series ‘Shrews’ directed by Caitlin Mayernik, also have four nominations. The dramatic short film ‘Brimstone’; written and directed by Debra Markowitz, leads all nominees with six, including Outstanding Short Film.
The Uptown Chronicles is described as “an ambitious multi-media project, encompassing cinema, television, comic books, and a podcast” The nearly 5-minute trailer for the project introduces viewers to a futuristic Chicago in the year 2100, where marvels such as flying cars and servant drones are a normal part of daily existence. It is in this setting that we are introduced to the Hamilton family. Led by genius-scientist father Andre and equally brilliant mother Maya, their 5 children – gifted chef Tasha, bookish introvert Sienna, slacker son Ty, and prodigies Jordan and Keira – learn from their parents about their destinies as the last descendants of an ancient magical order tasked with maintaining balance in the world. When a mysterious threat in the form of a giant robot called Neocron appears, the children awaken their powers of super strength, telekinesis, speed, and technological manipulation to face this devastating foe. The trailer can be viewed at the link below.
The Uptown Chronicles is created by Steven Goard, who also voices the lead character of Andre Hamilton. The upcoming film, series, and comic book are written by multi-hyphenate Alonge Hawes, who also co-directs and co-executive produces alongside Goard. Art design is commissioned by Patrick King with animation provided by Dom Fred Films. The project features the vocal talents of Jasmin Richardson, who voices matriarch Maya. Major Attaway, who plays the villainous Victor Hyde. Maria Katre, who voices Tasha. Zane “Lil Zane” Copeland, who voices Ty. Shani Hawes, who voices Sienna. Mina Kraynak, who voices Keira. Arinze, who voices Jordan. And Jason C. Louder, who voices Tariq Lattimore. Goard produces through SDG Quantum Productions whilst Hawes produces through A Million Stories One Pen Productions. Jason C. Louder and Joshua Dennard also serve as producers.
The New Jersey Web Festival, created and run by Neem Basha, launched in 2018 and has since become one of the biggest, most prestigious, and respected film festivals dedicated to supporting and honoring independent film makers in web and podcast mediums. In addition to digital series and podcasts, the New Jersey Web Festival also works to highlight pilots, scripts, trailers, podcasts, and music videos from independent creators nationwide and abroad. It is ranked as one of FilmFreeway’s best reviewed festivals and networking mixers. The festival’s long-standing adage is that “Quality Is the Only Criteria: We Want to Showcase the Very Best.”

The Uptown Chronicles continues its stellar year, picking up the award for Outstanding Fantasy at the 7th annual New Jersey Webfest.
The award was bestowed upon the 5-minute series trailer, which showcases jaw-dropping computer visuals alongside a thrilling introduction to the world and lore of the upcoming series.
Series writer, co-director, and co-executive producer Alonge Hawes was on hand to collect the award, taking his moment to give thanks to the late Dwayne McDuffie, the creator and writer behind the popular comic book hero ‘Static Shock’, whom Hawes noted was the first African-American superhero to headline his own eponymously named animated series in the early 2000’s. Hawes also thanked Aaron McGruder, the creator behind the comic-strip turned Peabody Award winning animated series ‘The Boondocks’. Lastly, Hawes thanked Steven Goard, the creator, co-director, and lead voice actor of The Uptown Chronicles, “For allowing me to come play in his sandbox and write and co-direct this wonderful project.”
Hawes was also on hand to help present that night’s Michael Ajakwe Jr, “Don’t Wait, Create” award. Having previously won the award at last year’s ceremony, Hawes stood alongside fellow award alumni Jessica Alexandra-Green, Joshua Pangborn, and Herman Wang; as the four presented creative duo Melissa Malone and Diann Filiatrault with the prestigious trophy.

Tony Award winning actress Anika Noni Rose has been tapped to both star in and produce the pilot for the upcoming animated series ‘The Uptown Chronicles’.
Taking place in the year 2100 Chicago, ‘The Uptown Chronicles’ follows the adventures of the Hamilton family, led by scientist father Dre and guardian mother Maya, as their five children – gifted chef Tasha, bookish introvert Sienna, slacker son Ty, and adolescent prodigies Jordan and Keira – learn from their parents about their destinies as the descendants of an ancient magical order tasked with maintaining balance in the world. The series looks to infuse elements of science-fiction, fantasy, and Afro-Futurism into a project that will both charm and thrill audiences in the vein of Black Panther, The Incredibles, and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Rose is set to play Maya, whose magical abilities are linked to her ancestry as part of a group of noble guardians tasked with preventing calamity the world over. Once her children’s powers begin to manifest, Maya will stop at nothing to both guide and protect them in a world as dangerous as it is wondrous..
Last year Anika released a children’s book, “Tiana’s Perfect Plan,” and is working on her second book scheduled to be released in 2026. Onscreen, she recently voiced a character in Disney’s “Zootopia 2,” and best known for voicing the Disney princess Tiana in Disney’s “The Princess and The Frog”, as well as starring in the films “Mufasa: The Lion King,” and “Dreamgirls” and Christmas classic, “Jingle Jangle.”
On television, you have seen Rose in series such as “Maid”, “Let the Right One In”, “Little Fires Everywhere,” “The Quad,” “The Good Wife,” “Power” to name a few.
Anika won the Tony Award for her role in the Broadway’s production of “Caroline, or Change,” also earning a Tony nomination for the revival of “A Raisin in the Sun.” She won the Lucille Lortel award for her portrayal of Carmen Jones, in the Off-Broadway production of the same name.
She has been nominated nine times for an NAACP Image award for her various work on the big and small screens.
She can be heard right now as Marion Lavorre, The Ruby of The Sea, In Critical Role’s new series, “The Mighty Nein,” on Amazon Prime.
Anika is repped by Innovative Artists, David Williams Management, GoodManagement, and Schreck Rose Dapello.
‘The Uptown Chronicles’ is created by Steven Goard, who is producing through SDG Quantum Productions. Goard is best known for voicing Kang the Conqueror for Disney’s Australia Cruise line. He is also the official voice for Google Fiber Tech Support in addition to voicing and narrating nationally aired commercials and programs for Gatorade, ESPN, and ID Discovery. Goard is repped by CESD Talent Agency. The series is written by Alonge Hawes, who will co-produce through A Million Stories One Pen Productions. Hawes is best known as the creator, writer, and director of the critically acclaimed digital series “Silver & Gold”, which has been the recipient of many awards including being named Best Web Series by the Oniros Film Awards and Hawes winning Best Director in a Thriller from the New Jersey Webfest and Best Series Script from the Minnesota Webfest. Goard & Hawes will serve as co-showrunners & directors for the series.
