A Touch of Grey...Our Story!
Our Writer
About 13 years ago, J.R. Rodriguez started writing as a new obsession after he quit drinking. His first film, Remember Yesterday, won the Florence International Romance Festival, and since then, he has been developing a semi-biographical story that explores aging and life after realizing that your chosen family is often closer than your natural family. J.R. has written 6 feature films and 3 series pilots, including A New York Christmas Story and PROPHETS. He is also involved in independent film production in Wilmington, NC, where he draws inspiration from the rich Wilmington film history to create his works, including a dramatic comedy series.

A Touch of Grey Series - A Dramatic Comedy Adventure
You've been watching us for year...Without knowing it!
GEN X
It is no secret, this story centers around the 50’s and 60’s year olds. It is widely known that GEN X is the bridge between The Boomers and Millennials and GEN Z. This demographic is also unique in that they utilize both traditional TV and streaming services, unlike other demographics that typically choose one or the other. The GEN X audience leans heavily on popular platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, and Apple TV.
With a demographic that’s also twice as likely to engage with social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram daily, the marketing potential is significant. The success of comedic television and streaming shows has led to increased viewer engagement, thanks to effective word-of-mouth marketing campaigns. Producers of the dramatic comedy series A Touch of Grey are eager to replicate this success. With various aspects of A Touch of Grey appealing to this diverse demographic—whether it’s the noble character struggles, messages of faith, or comedic moments—there is plenty of potential for this independent film production to resonate with the GEN X audience. Additionally, with its roots in Wilmington film history, A Touch of Grey is well-positioned to strike a chord with viewers.
Everyone is WELCOME!!!
It's NOT Saturday and They Aren't In Detention Anymore!
Dramatic Comedy Fans
The dramatic comedy series has a proven track record with audiences. Dealing with the human experience, this genre is relatable to many demographics. A Touch of Grey was crafted with characters appealing not just to the GEN X generation, but also to teenagers and seniors. The purpose is to tell a story where the world is inclusive and everyone’s point of view matters.
Although the term dramatic comedy is not designated as a specific genre, the proof of these hybrid shows is widely recognized. Ted Lasso, Sex Education, Atypical, and the award-winning Somebody Somewhere are examples where combining uncomfortable situations with comedy is not only accepted but also successful. A Touch of Grey does this through the experiences of a group of adults who, in any given situation, have a choice. The question becomes whether they act like adults and handle the situation with maturity or revert to their childish ways. This narrative is particularly relevant in the context of independent film production, as it reflects a broader trend seen in Wilmington film history.
