The COVID Ditty Story

Created by actor, writer, director Steve Greenstein. Covid Ditty is a from the heart dramedy series about life in Kingsbridge, a working class neighborhood in the Bronx New York City. Told through the eyes of various diverse characters including a father and son Phil and Charlie facing school closures, Maria, a nurses aide on the front line caring for patients, and Mr. Lee, a Chinese merchant facing discrimination. We follow their narrative in short meaningful episodes as they struggle with their new day to day realities during these challenging times we all are living in.

A Message From the Director

NEW YORKERS DON'T QUIT

I always bet on a sure thing. The COVID Ditty web series is a testament to the hard-working NYC families who have chosen to stay and fight. I have reached into my SAG-AFTRA retirement savings to produce the first scripts for Season One, but I need your help to finish the eight-part series. We have actors, an editor and a production team counting on us. We are an economic engine that is putting money into the local Bronx economy. Every time a coffee is bought over a script meeting, a lunch is served on set or an interior location is used, a local Kingsbridge business benefits. The arts are job creators! If you believe New Yorkers don’t quit, please make a contribution today to keep this work alive. For donations more than $60, I’ll throw in a t-shirt that captures this memorable work during an unforgettable time.
