College Boyfriends Redemption (Season 3)
College Boyfriends is the #1 reality web series in the Atlanta University Center, created by Clark Atlanta University alumni, TINA SHAKIYAH and DONTE ROSE. This scripted reality show follows the life of five college male students as they struggle through the semester while balancing their social lives and learning the meaning of LOVE. For some of them it's harder than expected. For others it's a confusing trip down the wrong lane. And for few it's a nice breeze. Love will be questioned and friendships will be tested. Some say it's hard to have a college boyfriend, but to us, it's even HARDER BEING A College Boyfriend.

Tina Shakiyah, 25, is a graduate of Clark Atlanta University with her degree in Mass Media Arts: Radio/ TV/ Film. Growing up in the Bay View district of San Francisco, California, Tina grew fond of the entertainment world at the young age of 5years old, and later found her passion in storytelling. Throughout college Tina Shakiyah (director), and best friend Donte Rose (producer) went on to produce a number of short films. In 2010, Tina received her first "Viewers Choice" award as a freshman director in the Campus Movie Fest, followed by a "Best Picture" win in the 2011 CMF competition. In 2013, Tina and Donte created the hit college web series, College Boyfriends based out of the AUC. College Boyfriends gained a huge following as it followed the life of 5+ male students trying to balance both their social life and love life all while obtaining a college degree. College Boyfriends Season 1 began as a scripted reality show, which birthed the motto, "Reality-Kinda.” Each situation that is brought out deals with real life issues that college students face on a day to day (reality) however, the actors and actresses are not personally living the lifestyle displayed on camera, nor are they in a relationship with their co-star, (Kinda). The show is also improv based, which gives each actor creative freedom and allows them to personally connect with their character. In 2015 College Boyfriends began production for its 3rd and final season, “Redemption. ”
Filmmaking became a way for me to express myself fearlessly. It allowed me play on my fear of expression and discover that I live in a world where many people are afraid to show their weaknesses, not realizing that it is our weaknesses that builds our strengths. And those same weaknesses tell great stories... visually :)
