DARNA

DARNA
By Manelle Dridi

GENRE: Comedy
LOGLINE:

When two chaotically fun cousins, stubborn Nadine and people-pleasing Lana, announce their decision to leave Virginia to embark on a new adventure in Los Angeles, they never expected their eccentric and clingy Arab-American family--Nadine's hippy, lesbian mother and Lana’s religious and traditional parents along with her two siblings--to uproot their lives and move in right next door. They navigate the chaos of their codependent family dynamics while chasing their dreams and finding themselves. 

SYNOPSIS:

Darna (Our Home) gives the audience a chance to connect with relatable young women in their twenties, while giving a voice for Arab-Americans in a way that has never been done on screen. The Arab culture and traditions are subtly seen in some episodes throughout the show just as they do in real life, as opposed to the overtly religious stereotypes we see in Arabs on screen. We get to see a spectrum of tradition & religion, sexuality, and mental health within a racially ambiguous, North African family, and most importantly how fun and funny they can be.
