Arts Council is proud to serve as a fiscal sponsor for Kudzu.

​

A new episodic series, Kudzu is a comedic film noir and a love-letter to Winston-Salem. Our heroine, Phyllis Fletcher, is a perpetually stoned, third-rate detective who finds herself in over her head when she suddenly becomes embroiled in an offbeat murder mystery that leads her to unearth dark secrets lying just beneath a Southern tobacco town's quirky facade. Principal photography for the first four episodes in the series begins April 4, 2026 in Winston-Salem.
