Darcine’s Day
A social issues drama starring Kyla Diane Kennedy and Brent Huff.
We spend the day with Darcine Thomas, divorced and jobless, as she struggles to get back on her feet. She goes from pillar to post trying to find work and support, with obstacles at every turn. When propositioned by a good friend, she thanks him, but returns to her lonely solace, going unseen for the help she really needs.
Prejudice. Assumptions. Hidden homelessness.
These were the concepts we wanted to explore with DARCINE’S DAY.
We learned that many Angelinos find it difficult to attain fair-paying work AND nutritious food AND affordable housing, so they "double up,” sleeping on friend’s couches. They are not technically counted as "homeless” so they lack access to government support and public sympathy.
Many crew members identified with these concepts, and the production gained fast momentum. We signed a DGA agreement and a SAG contract and we were very fortunate to meet star Kyla Diane Kennedy who brought DARCINE to life in a most beautiful and authentic way.
Audiences have told us that the messages in DARCINE’S DAY are both personal and universal.
