Our Story
Sweet Mary & Jane is the brainchild of three young women in LA, who after feeling entirely uninspired by the stories of women their age & the grossly stereotyped minority characters depicted on television, decided to create something original that would truly make a splash! Vivian Dominguez, Marisa Quintanilla and Jessica Smith developed this project with the intention that at the heart of it, Sweet Mary & Jane would be a TV show that reflects women and minorities in a fresh, fun, non-stereotypical way.
The Impact
Our Mission: To create an innovative television series that empowers women and promotes diversity with humor, edge, & a sexy style!
Sweet Mary & Jane is a story about a diverse group of entrepreneurial women, presented in a fun, edgy, progressive way. We created these characters to be independent, yet flawed sexy, yet empowered - capable, yet often dumbfounded as they journey to find their way in the world. Of equal import is that two of our main characters (along with a cast of supporting characters throughout the series) are of ethnic descent, and are represented in a realistic, truthful way that challenges traditional stereotypes.
Are you tired of the same ol thing you see on television season after season?
Are you interested in being thanked personally in the credits of a TV show that is innovative, edgy & HILARIOUS!?
Do you want to be a part of a progressive project that empowers women and promotes diversity in a fun, inventive way?!
Then hop on the Sweet Mary & Jane train and join us in creating what will surely be a ground breaking new series!
