ATLANTA — While streaming seems to be taking over the world, Bounce TV, an Atlanta-based broadcast network tailored to Black audiences is quietly building its line up of original programs.
Its latest effort is a comedy “Finding Happy,” which stars Atlanta-based comic and social media influencer B. Simone as Yaz Carter, who on her 36th birthday finds herself super unhappy. She feels stagnant at work as an assistant to the boss at a small Atlanta media company. Her wishy-washy boyfriend of a year skips out on her birthday. She feels her biological clock ticking.
So when her mom holds a big birthday party for her against her wishes, Yaz’s dark mood gets darker. When a baby-shaped cake meant for a baby shower shows up, she loses her mind and starts throwing cake everywhere. The tantrum goes viral. This triggers her own desire to get her life together and “find happy,” so to speak.
