Help us bring a story about love, loyalty, fame, and forgiveness to the big screen.

A Stoop Filmyard Vision- Written by Anthony Darnell Gay

Patterson House Production- A Heart for Christmas (2024) - IMDb

E. Noble Filmworks-Home | We are film making ~ Celebrate ~ Discover ~ Enjoy

What’s the Movie About?

Tammi, a sharp-witted content creator, catapults to viral stardom by roasting her boyfriend on stage — but what started as jokes turns into a national smear campaign against a man she truly loves. As fame rises, love falls apart. Can she fix what went too far... before it’s too late?

  • 👕 Exclusive Merch

Why This Story Matters

Black-led romantic comedies deserve more space on the screen — especially ones that explore modern relationships, social media chaos, and comedy as healing. This Joke’s On You is relatable, raw, and ridiculously funny.

Our Goal: $65,000

With your help, we’ll finish strong and share this film with the world.

Let’s laugh, cry, and heal together. Back our film and prove real love can survive even when the whole world’s watching.
