Since leaving the show, Abu-Taleb has ventured into producing. He currently produces web series Poor Paul, in which former lonelygir15 co-star Jessica Lee Rose has a recurring role. He says that the comedic aspects and the way the show broke down the fourth wall are what attracted him to it. Currently in the works, Abu-Taleb is executive producing the movie Growth, which is slated for release in 2010 as well as the film Family of Four, also slated for release in 2010. He is currently in pre-production on the feature film The Disconnect.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
