A taster for a series created, written, directed and starring Alannah Olivia.
OLIVES follows the lives of three women in their mid-twenties of various ethnicities, but who are all essentially olive-skinned, hence the title. We follow our three girls through their struggle to overcome the social (but also self-imposed) limitations of being an ethnic woman in our current society. We see them go to extreme lengths to find themselves by embracing their racial, spiritual and sexual identities. It is a heartfelt comedy which tackles some very current and important themes.
Alannah raised £5000 on kickstarter to film a taster, which attracted a lot of attention to her voice and the series. OLIVES is now officially in development with BBC Drama and Leftbank Pictures.
