The live-action feature film HONEY GIRLS, starring Grammy Award winning, multi-platinum singer/songwriter and actress Ashanti and digital star Tessa Brooks, and based on the top-selling product line from Build-A-Bear Workshop is coming soon. Multi-award winning music video director Trey Fanjoy makes her feature film directorial debut and Aliyah Mastin, Ava Grace and Frankie McNellis bring the Honey Girls to life with original songs and electric dancing. The film, featuring high-energy music as a central part of the storyline, is expected to release in fall of this year with Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions.
Three young musicians participate in a talent competition to discover the next great solo artist, hosted by global pop-star Fancy G (Ashanti). The competitors quickly discover that they are “better together” and form a secret band called HONEY GIRLS that has an immediate viral mega hit! Performing in disguise to avoid detection and elimination by Fancy G, these three competitors must ultimately decide what is more important – fame or friendship.
