What's Happening?
Atlanta actress Charity Jordan has successfully sold her self-funded film 'Vera's Holiday Flop' to BET+. Frustrated with the limited roles available to her, Jordan decided to create her own opportunity
by writing and producing a film where she could play a leading comedic role. To finance the project, she and her husband took out a home equity loan and relied on support from friends and family. The film, which celebrates friendship and features Jordan in a starring role, has now been picked up by BET+, providing her with a platform to reach a wider audience.
Why It's Important?
This development is significant as it highlights the growing trend of actors taking control of their careers by creating their own content. For Jordan, this move not only allows her to showcase her talent in a leading role but also demonstrates the potential for independent filmmakers to succeed in a competitive industry. The acquisition by BET+ reflects the platform's commitment to diverse storytelling and supporting independent projects. It also underscores the importance of representation in media, as Jordan's film brings new narratives and perspectives to the forefront.
