YELLOW is a romantic comedy set in Philly. After a “scorched-earth” divorce, Sunni Castro finally has her life, her business, and her peace in order—until her New Yorker ex-husband moves onto her block and invades her local Philly café. It’s a story about territory, boundaries, and the hilarious, messy realization that your “ex-nemesis” might just be a better man than he used to be—leading Sunni toward the one thing she never expected: the possibility of forgiveness.

Character Breakdowns

SUNNI AMIN-CASTRO (Lead)
Ethnicity: Black / African American
Age: Late 30s – Early 40s
The Role: A high-achieving entrepreneur who is “all in” on her new life. Sunni is fashionable, polished, and hyper-organized, using her success as a shield.
The Vibe: Needs sharp comedic timing to play against her own cynical internal ego. She can quickly shift from “Mission Impossible” stealth mode to a reluctant, sun-drenched smile.

NICHOLAS CASTRO (Lead)
Ethnicity: Afro-Latino
Age: Late 30s – Early 40s
The Role: A recovering high-profile TV Exec from New York who traded the corporate grind to be closer to his children, a screenplay, and a spot on Carpenter Lane.
The Vibe: Athletic, sincere, and “quietly confident”. He’s the guy who stays calm while his ex-wife is firing off orders, using a “playful smile” to defuse her “scorched-earth” energy.
