Blackfilm.com has been provided with an exclusive look to the new poster for ‘Things Never Said,’ which is director Charles Murray‘s first feature film.
The film stars Shanola Hampton, Omari Hardwick, Elimu Nelson, Tamala Jones, Dorian Missick, Tom Wright, Charlayne Woodard and Michael Beach.
KALINDRA STEPNEY (Kal, Shanola Hampton) is an aspiring poetess, but inside she’s an artist who’s lost. Haunted by dreams deferred and a dangerous marriage, this Los Angelean yearns to perform on New York’s most acclaimed spoken word stage.
Wounded by a miscarriage and saddled with RONNIE (Elimu Nelson), an angry husband, Kal desperately seeks an outlet for her struggling artistic voice. Adding to her distress is best friend and compatriot DAPHNE (Tamala Jones), who also grapples with relationship issues. Kal’s inner turmoil is escalated by the surprise and uncertainty of new love found in CURTIS JACKSON (Omari Hardwick), a talented spoken word artist with a scarred past. Through their forbidden love, Kal helps Curtis heal a damaged relationship with his estranged young daughter. In turn, Curtis inspires Kal to dig deeper, discover her voice, and ultimately reclaim her sense of self-worth.
Murray has spent the last 10 plus years as a television writer and has worked with TV heavyweights like David Milch (Deadwood, NYPD Blue), Steven Bochco (Hill Street Blues) and Ed Bernero (Criminal Minds, Third Watch).
Murray recently won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Screenplay at the 17th Annual American Black Film Festival (ABFF) while Hampton took the Grand Jury Prize for Best Actor for her performance in the film.
‘Things Never Said’ will open in Los Angeles on Sept. 6, with additional cities to follow, including Boston, Atlanta, Washington D.C., and Merrillville, Indiana.
