Ackee Gals
Written by Nathalie Harewood
Story by Rochelle Brown & Nathalie Harewood
General synopsis…..
Prequel
Dissatisfied and ambitious, two pre-teen girls become fast friends and very successful criminals in the process. As they become more than just a cute pair pickpockets, a local Don begins to squash their plans of growth before they begin.
Part I
Bit and Birdy have been running a small network of fronts for their growing posse, the Ackee Gals. Due to their use of silence and ASL the women have avoided capture. As male run posses begin to be infiltrated by the U.S. government and local police, a formal rival plots to use their downfall as his way back to the top.
Part II
On the cusp of the new millennia, the Ackee Gals have officially expanded to the United States. Business is booming in Miami, as Bit struggles to maintain loyalty amongst their growing ranks. Meanwhile while Birdy tightens her grip on local districts from prison.
Part III
The Ackee Gals have an eye towards the future of some of their products. But is it enough to sustain the appetite of their posse? Bit and Birdy are old school upper management in a digital world of managers. When the business begins to slow down, the biggest challenge facing them aren’t their rivals, it’s their protégés.
Escape To Last Man Peak
As so many before us, we were inspired by the children’s novel, written by Jean D’Costa.
Although feature film rights have been acquired, we’re currently developing a six-part limited series on this Jamaican classic.
