Anecdotes

Ten-Cent Daisy: A Lost Mermaid Tale is a 2021 American fantasy drama film by Lisbon Okafor. It follows three sisters who are summoned back to their home in the West Indies, but must first reconcile with each other and protect vulnerable youngest sister Daisy, who is secretly a mermaid.

Production

The story was inspired by Lisbon Okafor's visit to Grenada in 2001 for his mother-in-law's funeral, where he learned of a local girl shunned for being different, and by memories of his village in eastern Nigeria where a girl with Down syndrome was similarly bullied.

Funds for post-production were raised through Kickstarter, and the film drew attention for its depiction of Black mermaids. Filming took place in Oakland and Sebastopol, Berkeley and the island of St. Lucia in the West Indies. The film premiered on October 2, 2021, at the Urbanworld Film Festival and was screened at the online American Black Film Festival from November 3 to 14, 2021.
