WRITING

“It is my mission to deliver the most decadent portrayals of the human condition, from the perspectives of characters whose stories often go unwritten.”

- Josette Roberts

timeline:

2020 - 2021

From 2020 into this year, Josette has written and workshopped four original projects:

2 pilots (1 live-action, 1 adult animation), and 2 feature-length (live-action) films.

All original story ideas straight from the mind of Josette Roberts, tackling the emotional intricacies of communities of color that are often ignored. Each project is more fresh and original than the last.

If you’re looking for story genius mixed with abundant knowledge of all things, from every perspective, I’m your girl.
