Writer, director, producer, mentor, design engineer and web/app developer are just some of the many hats worn by JAIDO STUDIOS founder, Kadé Hill. With over a decade plus in the design, fashion and film industries, Kadé feels it is now time to represent people of color in a new light. Her goal is to create captivating stories that break common barriers and reinvents the way that people of color are represented in today’s media.
I wrote the screenplay, White Rose, last year after my business partner contacted me to turn his stage play into a short film. Shortly after researching child sex trafficking, I found myself traveling down a rabbit whole of heartbreaking statistics and a reality that had been hidden in plain sight. As a mother to a 3 year old daughter, the realization that so many young children were being trafficked right in my backyard shocked me.
Mia, the main character in this screenplay, gives you a first person perspective of life as a trafficked teen. Her world is turned upside in the blink of an eye and she is forced to fight for her survival. Our hope is to raise awareness and evoke a positive change for youth living this nightmare daily. This is a story of heartbreak, loss, redemption and self-discovery. My hope is that it will develop into a series so that we can shine light on all of the darkness of human trafficking.
