SC State alumna Sa’Rah Jones’ latest screenwriting project debuts on Lifetime
The movie has been available on Lifetime’s streaming service since Sunday.
“Double Double Trouble” stars Tami Roman as twin sisters “Drea” and “Ali.” Reeling from a devastating miscarriage and the collapse of her marriage, Drea struggles to rebuild her life when her identical twin sister Ali finds love with Ryan, a man who represents everything Drea believes she’s lost.
Jones, a successful screenwriter and producer, graduated from SC State in 1995 and moved to Los Angeles to realize her dream of writing for the entertainment industry. She worked in production for multiple shows at Warner Bros., MGM, and Paramount while honing her writing skills.
After the birth of her son, Cornell, she left the entertainment business and pursued a career in pharmaceutical sales. Jones spent 10 years in corporate America before returning to her first love, television comedy writing.
She hasn’t looked back. Since rebooting her career, Jones has found her niche for her words on such projects as the CBS sitcom “The Neighborhood” and the movies she has written for Lifetime, including the highly successful “Single Black Female” and its sequel, “Single Black Female 2: Simone’s Revenge.”
