#Games like house flipper series#
“When we started, we described Mary Margaret as a dolphin masked as a shark, but she surely is a shark masked as a dolphin,” says Moss.įor Messmer’s part, her character in the series materialized into the role of Louie, a young, white, married homebuyer and house-flipper. Moss’ involvement, like the other series creators, turned into a role in the ensemble cast as Mary Margaret, a local white real estate agent who’s capitalizing on the neighborhood to propel herself into the position of No.
Blankenship, as well, joined the team as a writer and co-producer. “And we officially began a deeper dive into the project.” The friends and collaborators spent substantial hours talking to the community and researching gentrification, to the point that Moss says it felt as though they’d always been working on the project in one form or another.Ītlanta-based actress Karen Ceesay (”The Walking Dead,” “Stranger Things”) also jumped in on development as a writer and co-producer. “Meg and Jennica connected and discussed the potential series,” says Moss. Hill would become a producer, writer and actress on the series. It wasn’t until the pair connected with Jennica Hill that the idea of turning their conversation topic into a series was born. We were looking in up-and-coming areas and it sparked a lot of dialogue on our tour of homes.” When Meg moved to Atlanta we reconnected and I helped her purchase an investment property to flip. “I originally met Meg in Los Angeles when we were both studying and performing improv,” Moss says.
One of Messmer’s co-creators on the project is Atlanta-based actress, writer, co-producer and licensed real estate agent Muretta Moss.

I’m proud of you,’ and my white friends were saying, ‘I’m like so and so (character), and this feels really real.’” “My Black friends were texting me and saying, ‘It’s really good. “I want the ‘Intersection’ series to spark a conversation between two communities that are very much polarized right now,” she says. The real reward for Messmer has been the positive reception of “Intersection,” and the viewer introspection it has engendered. “We made it a goal to make this series ‘Emmy-worthy,’ and guess what? I hope the traction keeps going and going,” Messmer says. The Emmy nomination, though, was admittedly a stunning surprise. “I did not know that ‘Intersection’ would gain this type of traction, but I hoped it would,” says Messmer, who also served as a writer, producer and actress on “Intersection.” “I am a big believer that if you make something that’s high quality, that you’re passionate about, and that you work your butt off and put good intentions out into the world, good things will happen.” Showrunner Meg Messmer thinks the timing of the message has landed with viewers.
