(Orlando, FL) Momma & Me is a new sitcom filming its pilot next month on
March 1, 2, and 3rd at EBON/A-Match Studios in Titusville, Florida. The show
is being produced by Campbell and promises to deliver a new slant to the traditional
family sitcom. Momma & Me is loosely based on the lives and times of a real
mother and son known to writers and executive producers, Marlon Campbell and
Akbar Cojoe. Says Campbell, first cousin of filmmaker Tyler Perry, "I have
watched this real life story unfold for years and always thought it would make
a great sitcom. With actress Bern Nadette Stanis on board as Momma, the idea
has finally made the transition from conceptualization to realization."
Stanis is best known for her iconic role as "Thelma Evans" on the
hit 70's TV sitcom "Good Times."
The plot of Momma & Me is clear. It revolves around the relationship of
a mother and son – a son trying to come up in the world and a meddling
mother who knocks him back down every time. The show includes an ensemble cast
which lends itself to a broad variety of storylines. There is the expected love
and romance, camaraderie and enmity, triumphs and pitfalls, but what gives this
story its unpredictable angle is the pervading influence of the dominating mother,
Eva Johnson, whose pure intentions taint every prospect her son, Donnie Matthews
(played by actor Wayne Alibey), pursues.
The story upholds the idea that everyone has something to overcome in life.
Donnie has good looks, acumen, a great job, a promising love interest, and an
upright best friend; however, to balance the scales, he also has Momma. Viewers
will enjoy watching what Momma will mess up next as Donnie goes through the
day-to-day travails of trying to achieve more than he did the day before.
