The web series, called Office Code BET is the brainchild of Sorrells and writer/comedian Donte Barrett. The two found a way to transform typical workplace comedy shtick by adding a new dimension of original, humorous themes and shrewdly creative writing to introduce a flagship online sketch series that cleverly mocks the most outrageous, unacceptable office behavior. BET expects the revolutionary web-based show will ride the groundswell of successful projects already developed by Sorrells’ Aerion Studios, including the “Press Play” initiative also developed for BET. The interactive, sharable content series is the first of its kind and if the demand for “Press Play” is any indication, Sorrells and BET have another blockbuster hit on their hands. The Viacom-Owned cable network is placing major bets on Sorrells’ talent, tapping him as a correspondent on their Red Carpet during BET Awards 2012. His track record so far all but guarantees BET will reap lofty returns on every investment.
With so much at stake, the world will undoubtedly be watching as Sorrells continues to shatter traditional ideas about film-making and online production. He is currently in talks with entertainment website Mevio/ Bite Size TV to develop a show that merges the savvy of digital culture with the glitz of Hollywood, distinctly packaged in theatrical features. Sorrells has also inked a deal with video-entertainment network Machinima, where gamers around the world will enjoy original programming, game trailers and news. His ever-expanding resume also includes radio show, Skits and Bits which airs on Jamie Foxx’s Foxxhole. The Sirius Satellite show reaches an average 2.3 million listeners.

Meantime, the gifted comic and celebrated You Tube phenomenon, co-stars in the movie “Because I Love You”, written, and produced by Joe Elmore.
