Thompson Becomes The Youngest Executive Producer Of A Motion Picture
YONKERS, NY, UNITED STATES, September 6, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- SIC+ is excited to announce its upcoming film“One Mic,” starring young
actress Nia Thompson as“Maya Rivera” and award-winning
actor Malik Yoba as her father,“Zavion.”
When 12-year-old Maya finds an old broken microphone that turns into a magic instrument and bestows her with the gift of rhyming, her super-powered“rap flows” help her to overcome the challenges of being a young teen raised by a single father in the Bronx.
Ms. Thompson comes to the project after a successful run on Broadway in Disney's Tony Award-winning musical,“The Lion King” portraying“Young Nala.” She will now make history as the youngest Executive Producer of a motion picture at just twelve years old. Previously, Marsai Martin accomplished this at the age of 14 with her film“Little.”
Mr. Yoba, a veteran film and TV star is known for his work ranging from the critically acclaimed detective series“New York Undercover” to the box office hit,“Cool Runnings.”
SIC+ (Social Impact Content) overlooks Hollywood on Hudson in Yonkers NY, at the largest studio complex in the U.S. Shared with industry giants Lionsgate Studios and MediaPro. SIC+ empowers filmmakers who would otherwise not have the opportunity to showcase their talent, with access to industry. SIC+ began developing“One Mic” for local Yonkers' screenwriter Supreme Rivera to realize his dreams.
Hezues R, Director of“One Mic” states,“When you have a project this special, with so much promise in its intention and impact, someone will emerge in the casting process that makes it evident that no one else could play the role. At just 12yrs old, Nia has become that dominant in her profession to command such respect for her craft. We didn't need to be convinced by her stellar performance as young Nala (The Lion King), which she delivered with such fierce grace - we knew in the lunch meeting prior, she was Maya. The opportunity to pair her with seasoned icon Yoba will give us an extraordinary lift to elevate the message of this film."
