Madison is a fantasy comedy feature film: a bold, Brooklyn-set caper about three best friends who set out to find their missing friend, Farrah, and wind up tumbling into a surreal adventure that’s equal parts Destiny’s Child, Charlie’s Angels, and a love letter to Black womanhood and friendship.

​

We’re an all-women creative team with a shared passion for telling stories that center joy, style, and unapologetic self-expression. Writer-director Courtney Ann brings her distinct voice and fearless vision to Madison alongside creative director and production designer Neema Rowe, who is crafting a visual world as bold, stylish, and unforgettable as the women at the heart of this story. Producers Kelli Reilly (Quartermaster Creative), Nicole Palermo, and LeAnn Scrimmager are the driving force making it happen.
