Davis will serve as executive producer on the project, working alongside her niece, Eisa Davis, who will be writing the script.

The untitled film will be produced by Nina Yang Bongiovi, who has worked on both Fruitvale Station and Dope. Sidra Smith, who produced the 2012 documentary, released by Codeblack Free Angela and All Political Prisoners, and Codeblack Enterprises CEO Jeff Clanagan will also serve as producers on the Davis biopic.
