The film is set to premiere at Coachella before Childish Gambino’s performance. The film will be available in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide at Amazon.
Described as “an expansion of Glover’s idea of freedom [in] creative and business terms,” the film is directed by Glover’s longtime collaborator Hiro Murai, who has directed episodes of Atlanta as well as music videos for Glover’s alter-ego, Childish Gambino, including his game-changing smash hit, “This Is America.” The screenplay was written by Donald’s brother, Stephen, who’s both a writer and executive producer on Atlanta. It’s based on a story by Royalty. The film stars Letitia Wright (Black Panther) and Nonso Anozie (Cinderella).
“I’m really humbled having the opportunity to present something this timely and timeless. Between Rihanna and the people of Cuba, this is one of my favorite projects I’ve ever worked on,” Glover said in a statement.
The film was produced by Fam Udeorji, Carmen Cuba, Donald Glover & New Regency, who also financed the project, with executive producers Stephen Glover, Hiro Murai, and Ibra Ake.
