*Tisha Campbell is set to star in the ALLBLK original film “Operation: Aunties” with Melissa De Sousa, and Amayah Scott.
Directed by Wendy Raquel Robinson, Vibe reports that the dramedy tells the story of a “longtime friendship that is tested when a risk-averse cryptocurrency expert and her retired detective best friend become vigilantes after discovering a cyber-crime syndicate in their city.”
Per Vibe, the official synopsis reads: “After an attempted trafficking incident impacts her family, professor and blockchain expert Dr. Carol Cleavers (De Sousa) stumbles upon a dark web operation using new-age technology to assault and traffic women through a rideshare app. Knowing the feds won’t act fast enough, Carol teams up with her best friend, retired detective Sharon O’Hara (Campbell), and her niece Aminah James (Scott), computer hacker extraordinaire.”
Brett Dismuke, Head of Content ALLBLK & We TV, described the movie as an “edgy action and laugh-out-loud comedy,” that tackles “real issues affecting our society today.”
“Melissa, Tisha, and Amiyah expertly bring these strong, Black female characters to life, showcasing resilience, empowerment and tremendous heroism – keeping the laughs coming along the way, all of which resonate deeply with ALLBLK subscribers,” he said.
Writer and executive producer TJ Ali added, “Black women are always saving the day. Our culture thrives because of the everyday change agent — those who consistently rise up and uplift our society. For me, those agents of change have always been women from across the diaspora.”
Ali continued, “I’m incredibly proud to partner with ALLBLK, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Big Little Sis Media, and our incredible cast to bring this vision to life — a story for us, by us. The culture deserves to see our aunties as the vigilantes they already are — our heroes.”
The premiere date has not yet been announced but “Operation: Aunties” will drop in 2025 exclusively on ALLBLK.
