Eddie Flake is also a music producer.

If television serves to reinforce gender and racial stereotypes, we are going to use Kode Orange to break out of that. Main male characters are usually portrayed as powerful, strong, rational; regardless of color. We hope to break out of the social identity theory that the black male role has to be unruly and menacing. We're all just people.
