‘Black-ish’ Star Marsai Martin Becomes The Youngest Executive Producer In Hollywood History With Film ‘Little’

If “Black-ish” star Marsai Martin is a major Hollywood player by the time she reaches adulthood, don’t be surprised. That’s because with her new movie “Little,” 14-year-old Martin has become the youngest executive film producer in Hollywood history.

And it’s not like the young actress received an executive producer tag on the back end of the project, the film is her idea and she actually pitched it to a studio with scriptwriter Tracy Y. Oliver.

Oliver sent a message about the pitch meeting on social media and said she was blown away by Martin’s confidence.

“True story,” she wrote. “I went in Universal to do a joint pitch with a then 11-year old @marsaimartin for this movie that she dreamt up. So young but so confident. Way more than me. Thank you for the honor of writing this movie. Proud of you, girl.”

The “Black-ish” star responded to the message and said the movie got made because she was able to find folks who believed in her ideas.

“When the world tells you your dream is too big, you search for the folks that can see your vision,” wrote Martin. “Tracyoliver is the writer, I had an idea, we took it to @kenyabarris, he told @willpowerpacker, we met with Kenya and Tracy to get the pitch perfect and the rest is history.”

“Little” is about a woman named Jordan, played by Regina Hall, who turns into a 13-year-old girl, played by Martin, due to a curse. The film also stars Issae Rae, and Martin said this is just the beginning of her executive producing career.

“This is the first movie I have in front of the camera and behind the camera,” she told “Entertainment Tonight.” “And it’s not gonna be the last.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
