Martin not only produced the film but she also stars in the comedy with Insecure creator Issa Rae. Little is an adaptation of Tom Hanks’ 1988 film Big. 

In the film Martin along with Regina Hall star as Jordan Sanders.  Hall plays the take-no-prisoners tech mogul adult version and Martin as the 13-year-old version. Martin wakes up in her adult self’s penthouse just before a do-or-die presentation. Insecure’s Issa Rae plays Jordan’s long-suffering assistant April.  April is the only one in on the secret that Jodan is now trapped in an awkward tween body just as everything is on the line. Little is an irreverent new comedy about the price of success, the power of sisterhood and having a second chance to grow up – and glow up – right.
