Current Development Slate
From a dirt-poor, abandoned child in segregated South Carolina to an international icon of stage, screen, and cabaret, Unbreakable
tells the untamed, unapologetic life story of Eartha Kitt.
Justice in Four Parts is a suspenseful and emotionally charged four-film anthology that follows the lives of four dynamic, longtime girlfriends-each navigating the high-stakes world of crime, law, and justice from a different angle.
Inspired by true events, this is a powerful story of sisterhood,
activism, and the young women who demanded to be heard.
This is a gripping Southern Gothic thriller about justice, trauma, and the fierce power of women who protect each other—at any cost.
