Pitch: An exquisitely dark-skinned woman exposes her brother’s problem with her complexion – at his expense.

Tag line:  “The story of a sweet woman in a sour world”

Setting:  Washington, DC

Goals: To date, Hidden Figures (2016) has garnered over $100 million dollars. Girls Trip (2017) : over $100 million. Other than Precious (2009) there has not been a narrative film about an African American woman of a darker hue. While Precious was a successful film that accrued $63 million dollars worldwide, it still portrayed a black family within the black pathology motif. The Darker the Berry  would represent an opportunity to present a new female heroine to the screen: Tisha McInness.

It would also represent an opportunity to produced a film about DC rather the Nation's Capitol.

Primary audience: Black female film-goers.

​

Secondary audience: black movie-goers.

​

Third audience: Independent film-goers.
