“PREACHER’S KID”

Storyline: Tired of being a Preacher’s daughter and longing to experience more of life, 20-something ANGIE KING (LeToya Luckett) strikes out on her own for the very first time and joins a traveling gospel show. In this modern-day rendition of the fable of The Prodigal Son, she soon discovers life on the road is tough but fears going home with nothing to show for herself, or worse, to a father who no longer loves her…

“Our story revolves around the central character of ANGIE, who is a beautiful, but innocent, 23 year old woman.  She is the daughter of a well-respected Pastor, who is the pillar of the small, family-like community within Augusta, Georgia, where she has grown up her entire life.  As the only woman in her father’s life (her Mother passed when she was a little girl), she tends to all of her father’s needs: she takes care of her father’s asthma, goes to church service three times a week, carries out missions for the church, and sings in the church choir… basically, her whole life revolves around the church and her father.  She has yet to experience life for herself, and frankly, she feels that life is passing her by.  One day, a traveling, gospel-musical-play (ala Tyler Perry) swoops into town and after sneaking out of the house to see the play, she gets mesmerized by the male lead of the show, DEVLIN (Durell “Tank” Babbs), who is a smooth-talking, soulful-singing, ex-R&B, heartthrob, who inspires her to want to join the traveling road show.  After an impromptu audition, where she sings her heart out for the promoter of the musical, she is offered an opportunity to become an understudy for the female lead role.

Against her father’s wishes, she joins the show, leaving behind her life of security, friendship, and fatherly love, to explore the world and experience life as a young woman.  She is romanced and seduced by Devlin and begins to see the world outside of Georgia.  Just as she falls in love with the smooth talking Devlin and loses her female innocence, things suddenly take a turn for the worst.  He starts to abuse her both physically and mentally.  She finds out that many of the other women in the play are not her friends at all and most importantly, she begins to doubt her own self-worth.  With the realization that she has abandoned her true friends back in Georgia and her only family, her father, she has no where and no one to turn to.  She is forced to fall deeper and deeper into the abyss and loses her sense of purpose and more importantly, her faith.  Her two best friends, who are concerned for her well-being, make an unannounced visit, to show that they still love and care for her and to let her know that she does have a life and a place to go where people still love and care for her.  Although, she knows they are true friends, her pride and stubbornness will not let her go back with her tail between her legs.  This only makes things worse for her, as she pressures the promoter to give her her shot at stardom, so that she can prove that she is worthy to everyone.  Unfortunately, she ends up in a fight with the promoter who hired her and her services are immediately terminated.

After she gets fired from the play, she embarrasses herself and finds herself lost in this world of spiritual and emotional treachery, the realization hits her… she has to go home.  The question is: will she find forgiveness and redemption or condemnation from her friends and most importantly… from her beloved father.

Cast: LeToya Luckett, Durell “Tank” Babbs”, Tammy Townsend, Kierra Sheard, Trey Songz, Essence Atkins, Sharif Atkins, Gregalan Williams.

“FROM THE ROUGH”

FROM THE ROUGH is based on the true story of Catana Starks, a former swim coach at Tennessee State University who became the first woman ever to coach a college men’s golf team. With drive, passion, and guts, she took an unruly group of mismatched kids from around the world and guided them to an all-time record at the PGA National Collegiate Minority Championship.

Tasked with building Tennessee State’s first golf team and finding only one available African American golfer – Craig, a former caddy with plenty of talent but no confidence – Catana Starks pushes outside TSU’s Historically Black context, and, against huge resistance, opens up the roster to underprivileged kids from around the world: Edward, a lower class British youth with a rakish charm and a contempt for authority; Bassam, a French-Algerian from Paris, angry about the discrimination of his people, soft-spoken but likely to explode; Cameron, an Australian from a single-parent household with a childhood spent working, using golf as means to escape; and Ji-Kyung, a disaffected South Korean from Orange County with a love of hip hop.

The movie will be released nationwide on February 3rd, 2012.

Cast: Taraji P. Henson, Tom Felton, LeToya Luckett, Justin Chon.
