TONE AND STYLE

The Wall will look like a movie. The framing will be bold with massively wide shots and hyper personal close ups. It will look like a big city musical that will never happen. Cinematography romantically lit even at Walmart. Textures palpable, skin touchable.

Constantly a “realistic” homage to Sex in the City, we will be slapped in the face with we aren’t Carrie and the girls, BUT we can be ourselves. This is shoes in storage units, finding bargain high fashion, flying to Paris on coach and only able to afford McDonald’s and wine while there. Scrounging and mooching off rich friends. This show also is where White, Black, Asian, Latin and all cultures meet and meld: shared slang, cultural education and jokes.

This is Sofia Coppola and Darren Star hanging out at a Black nightclub. This is Tiffany Haddish, Busy Philipps crying together at Arby’s over Olivia Munn’s breakup with her short-term boyfriend and hitting on 19-year-olds to make themselves feel better.

The soundtrack will be bananas: all 90’s with modern-day R&B, alternative rock, Madonna, Mariah, TLC, mixed in with modern worship music, and classic gospel: Mahalia Jackson, Lauren Daigle. Music you can sing along to and remember when and music that you can have a good sniffle to as well. Featuring original music from 90’s acts and current stylings too.

THE CHICKS

KARA KLEIN just turned forty. (Madonna, Mariah, N.W.A.) Single as a dollar bill. Thug fashionista. Loud and lovable. Materialistic as heck. You DO NOT want her to babysit, ever. The friend you want to break up with but keep telling all your secrets to. You will have to strangle her to admit she’s wrong. Nothing terrible she does will make you stop loving her. During the series she will become your best friend even while you are shaking your head. We will watch her grow up, even at forty. She will learn what love and caring for others really is, and through her so will we.

KENYA MARROW approaching forty. (Prince, Mary J Blige, Elton John) She doesn’t want to hit “the wall”. Wise but cannot follow her own advice. If she didn’t have two kids she’d probably be married. Loyal to a fault. Cannot believe she’s beautiful no matter how many times you tell her. Will go back to her terrible baby daddy in a heartbeat. We will see Kenya deny and shed African-American female stereotypes that have been pounded into our psyche and emerge into a queen.

BETH LOPEZ past forty. (Green Day, No Doubt, Marc Anthony) Pretends not to care about love and marriage. Nothing but painful, hurtful accurate truth comes out of her mouth. Just don’t tell her the truth about herself. She’s a Rock and Roll, Punk Rock Latina. Really needs a makeover. In Beth we will uncover the pains women can hide so well as we peel back layer after painful layer that has happened in her life, but can she accept love? She will test the girls’ friendship as some wounds don’t want to heal.
