Served is an ensemble dramedy TV series that chronicles the vibrant staff of a stylish LA eatery in their effort to function as a makeshift family. In part, the series is framed through the journey of a young Latino man, whose hopes of being a server are suddenly dashed when he’s relegated to the back of the house. This world is one that almost anyone can relate to, with over 15 million people actively working in the restaurant industry today and millions more having worked within it at some point in time. What's more, many of those people are from diverse and underrepresented populations. This is their untold story.
I created Served to tell the true story of the restaurant world because while we've seen comical takes on screen before, nothing has ever come close to authentic. I started working in restaurants at the age of 13 as a dishwasher at a grubby local diner. I've been a buser, a fry cook, a host, a food runner, a waiter... I know this world and the stories it has to tell are endless. They're also often stories of massively underrepresented groups. I'm not looking to shy away from the uncomfortable with Served; I want to lean into it and find the truth. I want to showcase stereotypes on screen so that we can peel back the layers of racism and sexism and ageism to reveal what's really underneath. I want to tell the stories of millions of service industry workers, so that they can see their worlds on screen for once in an authentic way.
Our pilot, starring P-Valley's Nicco Annan, was an award winner at the Independent TV Festival (now Catalyst Content Festival) and will be streaming everywhere on November 15th, 2022.

SUBSCRIBE TO TALK SHOW
All Roads Lead 65 Max Radio hosted By Pamela L Henderson brings you honest discussions and topics about what's real in the world, having open discussions of your ‘Truth’ pertaining to obstacles and challenges that one will either endure over a period of time that has caused hardships and limited resources. Pamela who has overcome Injustice and obstacles on her journey had a vision to help give a platform for young adolescents to speak about how we can together as a diversity culture make our voices heard and be able to move forward through Social Growth. If you take a stance against bullying, you are standing against it. If you take a stance on a contentious issue, it means you believe strongly about it one way or the other. This stance effects everyone, therefore her talk show will allow leaders and the community to be heard, and to heal through the discussions at a happy medium and to suggest solutions or resources to help bandage the wound that needs to heal.
65 Max foundation(s) focus is to enrich and empower each student academically by providing an Online presence or a classroom setting that allows each participant to participate in a group intervention (openly). Our Goal is to establish Social Emotional Growth that will instill the confidence and (OJT) skills that are needed, through the proposed goal #1 to develop a persons thought process by taking accountability as we empower each student to enhance their customer service skills by implementing hands on training that builds integrity and self esteem, and to advocate skills that are needed to attain careers through Social Growth by pursuing a professional or entrepreneurial career.
