"Big Sister, Little Sister" (BSLS) will highlight, document, and profoundly reveal the rewarding & bittersweet experiences of three New York City high school girls (now college girls) as they anticipate, prepare, experience, and advance through three customary rites of passage – prom, graduation, college – which represent the collective transition from adolescence into adulthood.

The objective of the film is to investigate and reveal the struggles, accomplishments, disappointments, dreams, fears, relationships, and goals of three adolescent females of color from very different socioeconomic backgrounds and cultures, as we observe their strengths and weaknesses in balancing school, (possibly) work, and peer/social issues (school/the prom/college).

The film will feature: graduation/prom stills and footage from 1930s to present; powerful, playful, and candid stills of the subjects; subject childhood photos; interviews with family, friends, teachers, and employers; all original music by up-and-coming female songwriters & singer ages 17-26; and cameos of young distinctive females of color addressing their prom, graduation, college, and career experiences.

The cameos are to be determined and will be of well-known young females of color: actors, authors, musicians, sports figure, etc.  The music will be all original tracks created specifically for this project.

"Big Sister, Little Sister" was written, directed, and produced by Sue May.  The film will begin post-production in early 2008.
