Marsai Martin, 14-years-old, has become Hollywood’s youngest producer after founding her own film company, Genius Productions. The young actor recently starred in the movie Little, a film about a female CEO (played by Regina Hall) being zapped back to being a teenager. Martin doesn’t only star in the movie but also executive produced the film as she was the one who came up with the story line. Little features an all-black lead cast and a black female director, which is important to the young actor/producer as her goal is to keep producing films led by black women.
