The Off Brands

(Scripted Proof of Concept - 2024)

Role: Line producer + Producer

Constance McKinney, a quirky teenage girl living with Sickle Cell, shares her experiences of attending a high school in a small southern town that defies the usual coming-of-age movie tropes. Her school's social hierarchy consists of three groups: The Well-Knowns, The Floaters, and The Off-Brands.

With encouragement from Jada, a "Floater," Constance tries double-dutch for the first time and realizes she is naturally good at it. This brings both positive and negative attention from a few "Well-Knowns," one being her suave high school crush, Jamel.

Constance must decide whether she will allow the opinions of others to dictate her interests and, if so, is she willing to take on the consequences that come with being an "Off-Brand" who has lost sight of her place.
