Baron Davis Prepping “Feud” w/ Issa Rae

Baron Davis has teamed up with both Issa Rae and Amy Pascal for new projects. Reportedly, the former NBA baller launched No Label Productions and is working with the Insecure creator on the movie project “Feud.”

The story centers on a dysfunctional African-American family going on a road trip to play for a game show in order to win enough money to keep their struggling restaurant afloat. Rae is producing through her Color Creative banner. She is not attached to star or write.

No Label is working with Pascal, who is a former Sony Pictures chief, on the drama “Ghost”. “Ghost” is centered on a young black American male juggling life between his home neighborhood that is stricken with violence and gang activity, and the private school that he attends with affluent people blind to the realities of his home life. The young man’s journey in learning to deal in both worlds takes a toll on his psychological advancement when he meets a mysterious man, Ghost, which changes his life.
