Troy Alexander returns to her roots, armed with an airtight plan, to pass the bar exam and start her own practice if it’s the last thing she does. But, her love of law takes a backseat to Jordan, her young son. Law provides an escape from realities that include a marriage turned sour, a distant relationship with Dililah, the mother that provides for her financially, but far-gone, emotionally. The Alexander family is complete again, but not perfect, not by a long shot.

 

Troy is convinced that she doesn’t need love to be truly happy. She’s content. Love is just a distraction. Or, so she thinks until her partners in crime, Tarin and Camryn, stumble upon Malik Bond, a southern born and bred middle school math teacher. Certain that they’ve found the perfect guy, the duo stage a “chance meeting”, at a welcome home bash. As “fate” would have it, they meet, but the scheme doesn’t unfold according to plan.

 

When Malik finds himself on her door step, Troy realizes that what he lacks in his wallet he makes up for in other areas. But sparks fly when Jeffrey, Troy’s ex-husband, catches wind that there may be a new man trying to fill his shoes.

 

Insidious circumstances creep beyond Troy’s control, bringing her plans to a screeching halt. Will Dililah respond to the call? Troy is forced to confront issues she left behind long ago. Life flashes before her eyes, just as love lands at her door.

 

Family ties are pushed to the limits. Astounding revelations unfold, affecting the Alexander family in different ways, when the unthinkable happens. Tarin questions whether, “soul mate”, Eric, will ever take the plunge. Camryn abandons the façade when she meets an eligible bachelor. JUMP IN is a romantic comedy-drama about taking risks in life and love, forgiveness, and destiny. 

My journey began in 1997 when I wrote my first screenplay. I started my own Production Company in 2005. My film career started 14 years ago when I wrote, produced, and directed my first film independently. I'm a strong leader. I'm also an effective communicator. I build a strong rapport with the Actors and Crew by gaining their trust and respect. I’ve managed large Casts and Crews. I've learned not only the creative side, but also the business side of film and TV. I have experience negotiating deals with Talent Agents and Managers, as well as Distributors. Experience has taught me how to balance various roles. I started off as a Camera Operator. As a result, I work well with the Director of Photography. I speak their language, which gives me an advantage. This relationship enhances the ability to clearly convey my vision as a Director. As a Line Producer, I know the importance of finishing on time and under budget. I've taken multiple projects from concept to screen. My film, Before 'I Do' is available on Peacock. "Jump In" is available on Amazon Prime. "Lipstick" is in post-production. I'm in great physical shape, accustomed to working 12+ hours a day on set. I'm committed to the craft. I'm dedicated to the work. I'm ready and prepared for the next level. My skills, discipline, focus, and drive have prepared me for additional opportunities. As an African-American Female Director over the age of 40, I offer a unique perspective, a wealth of experience and untapped creativity.
