Rap Entertainment Television's video: A Thousand And One - RE Features

A Thousand And One (Focus Features) Release: 03/31/2023 The vertical cinematic development of Writer/Director AV Rockwell is on full display! In your first year of film school your screenwriting professor tells you to write what you know. And that’s just what the New York native did - and with great skill and precision! We appreciate a story that appeals to our timeline as a Hip Hop Culture outlet but moreover, we always love the fact that we are able to see a story about life growing up on the East Coast, from a different perspective. The New York Metro area is one of a kind. “A Thousand And One” is a project that is more than just a brilliant film, It is a celebration of a continued tradition of African American excellence in cinema, the progression of women behind the scenes, it is also a cultural odyssey and a strong commentary on the social/economic ills that continues to plague communities across the globe. The Oscar worthy actor performances from the amazing Teyana Taylor, William Catlett, and Josiah Cross are not outdone by the rest of the brilliantly cast of supporting Actors. Inez De La Paz (Teyana Taylor) kidnaps six-year-old Terry (Aaron Kingsley Adetola) out of the foster care system, convinced that it is one last, necessary crime on her path to redemption. Holding onto their secret and each other, mother and son set out to reclaim their home, their identity and stability in a rapidly changing New York City. Starring - Teyana Taylor Directed and Written by: AV Rockwell For more exciting Hip Hop and Entertainment programming log on to https://www.rapentertainment.com Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE and SHARE!
