Production Description
Casting proof of concept for Fantasy/Thriller series Fever Street, from executive producer/writer Kristen Lambie.
Kristen Lambie is a Jamaican-Canadian storyteller who draws from the duality of her identity; the questions she often have about my culture; and her personal adventures to write and produce screen-based projects in Toronto, ON. An emerging writer, Kristen’s credits include Hello (Again), Pretty Hard Cases, and The Next Step.
Fever Street is being developed through The CaribbeanTales Black Incubator and Studio Access Project (CTBISAP), a business and production hub for emerging black filmmakers designed to build capacity in the Black Canadian Film Industry.
Synopsis
Chala Addison is a first-generation Jamaican-Canadian who has spent most of her life growing up on Fever Street. Everything she has learnt about her Caribbean heritage is rooted in the history of this neighbourhood. But as monuments in the community are mysteriously disappearing and all the adults are losing memory, Chala must find out why and how this happens. To recover the missing monuments and restore memory to her community, Chala learns about the wonders of her family's ancestral magic and the secrets that linger in the pits of Fever Street.
