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.
