LOG: In the Fall of 2008, awkward 15 year old Rhiannon bets everything she has to plan a sweet sixteen bigger and better than her arch-nemesis right when money is at its tightest in the great recession. Seeking a better paying job at her local mall, she attempts a dramatic rebrand but when her new life comes at the cost of her current one she must decide if the spotlight is worth the price.
"From awkward to unapologetic, this is revenge for the Alternative Black Kids"
Today's working adults were teenagers in 2008, content with part time jobs and eyes toward a brighter tomorrow. Those same stores are still there, those same jobs, and the same minimum wage of $7.25. In many suburban towns, you might even find some of the same workers. Tomorrow never came. This is a series for all those who never left the mall. This is for everyone who put in the work and got nothing back. Meet Me at the Mall details the start of the labor class uprising. At the helm is Rhiannon, a first generation Caribbean-American who is smart and capable and naïve as all hell. But on the eve of her 16th birthday, after suffering her 400th blow, she'll knock down the first domino. What comes after is reckless abandonment, scamming, thievery, and the greatest revolt that almost was.
