Marcie B. Scott stars as Arianna Bradley. This character transforms herself from being unsure of who she is and where she fits, in this tough as nails industry, to sacrificing everything from love, her family and changing her body just to make it to "The One Percent."

The One Percent Official Trailer

I am beyond excited to premier The One Percent trailer!!  This web series has been a labor of hard work and passion for all of those who were involved in creating it. From myself, as Executive Producer to the Co-Executive Producers and Actresses, Vanessa Henderson, and Daffany McGaray Clark , to the writer, Benjamin C Jones, and the amazing director/editor Choice Skinner. Our main goal was to create a smart, funny, provocative and entertaining web series about that A-List, Star level success of being The One Percent. I mean lets face it, everybody and I mean EVERYBODY who comes out to Los Angeles with the dreams of being in the entertainment industry, wants to make it to that top 1%. And yes that is the number... a measly 1%! And we are all working diligently night and day to get there. When I originally decided to do this web series back in November of 2010, I was initially just interested in creating my own project as an actress and make a venue for myself to showcase my talents. Yes it was all about me, me me :) But after considering the concept of the web series, and the idea of what it really takes to get to the top 1% in this industry, it started to mean more to me and the other actresses who were involved in it. We all started sharing our intimate stories of what it has been like for us and we realized that at the end of the day, no matter what dream you are chasing, whether to be a lawyer, doctor, athlete, teacher or Halle Berry herself, it takes extreme focus, dedication and sheer determination. And sometimes mixed in with that, is some extremely sad and painful moments, rejection, joy, happiness and everything in between. It is truly a roller coaster ride. And The One Percent web series will take you along for that ride. Hang on tight!
