Making it

Warning: Spoilers
The title comes from the Jim Crow standard of using a brown paper bag for color for discrimination.

Archie Glass (Rasheed Stephens) lives in Los Angeles and desires to be in films, even playing a token role. He thinks of himself as "just a man" and not black, which becomes his downfall in a world that sees him as black. Archie gets a chance when actress Mona Lane (Amanda Holquin) goes missing. He gets wind she has been kidnapped in southern LA and offers his services to the studio to find her in exchange for a role.

The film is about African-Americans who were ahead of their time getting steam-rolled over by the white establishment. Hollywood has the power to define us.

Guide: No sex or nudity. Don't recall any swearing.
