STORY:
Evolve is a three part supernatural series about acceptance of self and responsibility seen through the eyes of a reluctant heroine. The story centers around sheltered teenager Donia Reyes, who inherits super abilities. Throughout the series Donia struggles to maintain a balance between what she wants and what she's destined to become, which is consistently challenged by her nemesis and teen villain in the making, Troi Lawson. Part One is told in five separate episodes and showcases the beginning of Donia’s journey in dealing with her new-found abilities and strict traditions of her super powered family. Evolve offers a diverse, solid conflict driven story with cool special effects and fun characters that are people friendly in the fact that they are relatable (not glitzy or thrive in an adult free environment).
The Creator’s Statement:
Evolve was born out of a need to address a dream of mine, which was to tailor a superhero themed story about a black teenage girl in the vein of Spider-man, yet is identified as antihero. Like most fans of the superhero craze, it started when I was a youngster. My particular favorites were Spiderman, Bionic Woman, The Incredible Hulk and X-Men. I’m also a Sci-fi buff, so other influences for Evolve include the Star Wars saga—namely the Episodes 4-6, specifically Empire Strikes Back. So it’s not at all surprising that I find myself 20 years later finally having the courage to present my contribution to the genre.
