The book deals with Wolff's experience of being white while growing up in a predominantly African-American neighborhood and having a different financial situation and culture than the other white children than the ones at her upper class, private school filled with mostly white kids. She also fights for acceptance in her neighborhood as she is perceived as "too white".
Wolff had Sundance Lab turn it into a script. Shelton got it a year ago and has been rewriting and rewriting, and it's just about ready to go out to actors.
Anne Carey will produce.
Shelton's next film will be "Laggies" which she starts shooting in June. She was attached to do "Then We Came To The End," but that is no longer the case.
