Congrats LeToya! The “Preacher’s Kid” DVD/BLU-Ray (and Digital) are selling like hotcakes. It hit #4 on itunes (in the drama genre) and #33 on the general chart (all genres). Many retail stores like some of Wallmart locations are already sold out. Warner is advertising it a lot on BET and I think they should have done the same when it was on the movie theaters because you have thousands of haters tweeting about it thinking it’s a straight to DVD movie WHICH IT IS NOT. Can’t wait to see LeToya’s role in “Killers” out June 4th and see her have the lead character in an another movie.

Black Voices caught up with Stan Foster as he speaks about working from the director’s chair and casting the lead roles.

Out today on home video is ‘Preacher’s Kid,’ which stars LeToya Luckett of the original Destiny’s Child. She makes her movie breakthrough in this inspiring tale bursting with music.
Making his directing debut is screenwriter Stan Foster, whose previous film was ‘Woman Thou Art Loosed.’ which starred Kimberly Elise, Loretta Devine and Debbi Morgan.
Family, faith and music. Small-town girl Angie King leaves the first two behind to pursue a dream of singing stardom. Luckett plays Angie, the daughter of a stern but loving bishop, whose attraction to the star of a traveling gospel show takes her on the road and into romance, heartbreak and the realization that happiness may lie in the home she left behind. Join her on a powerful coming-of-age journey.
Also in the film are Durrell “Tank” Babbs, Essence Atkins, Gregory Alan Williams, Clayton English and Sharif Atkins.

After writing screenplays for such a long time, what made you decide it was time to direct?
Stan Foster: It was a natural extension. I sold a movie to Lionsgate a couple of years, and I thought about directing it from that time. I also spoke with some colleagues, Michael Schultz and Bill Duke, about advice and they were really encouraging. No one has this vision like me, so let me see what I can do. I was really happy with the process and how it came out.

How did ‘Preacher’s Kid’ become your first film to direct?
SF: This was my baby. Everything I write, from ‘Woman Thou Art Loosed’ to screenplays I sold are a piece of me, and it’s hard to have a baby and hand it over to someone else. This was the first time I got a chance to see it through from every word on the screen. Every frame of the movie has my stamp on it.

What were you looking to bring to this film that you think hadn’t been seen before?
SF: This is the first movie to show the world that there is a world of gospel stage plays. This goes back to Tyler Perry, Michael Matthews and some of the guys that came before them. ‘Woman Thou Art Loosed’ was the first gospel stage play that turned into a film. It’s such a fascinating world when you go to one of these stage plays and you see 95 percent black. A few white producers would come by and one would say, “I had no idea that this world even existed.” Tyler [Perry] wasn’t even in the radar when this came out.
I put together the stage play for ‘Woman Thou Art Loosed,’ and Tyler happened to be in the audience, and he wound up talking to one of the producers and began directing ‘Woman Thou Art Loosed’ and T.D Jakes’ follow up play, ‘Behind Closed Doors,’ and that got him really rolling in the game of stage plays. A few years later, we are doing the film version and Tyler comes on the set, and he partnered with my producing partner Reuben Cannon, and those two have been making money ever since. ‘Woman Thou Art Loosed’ was really the catalyst in a lot of ways to have stage plays make the big screen.

Can you talk about casting LeToya Luckett in the lead role?
