After a successful film festival tour, T-Cat Films, the producers of the award-winning independent legal drama, Created Equal, will be presenting a series of cinema on demand screenings nationwide through an exciting partnership with TUGG, Inc. Showings are scheduled in New Orleans (December 11th), New York (January 4th), and Merrimack, NH (January 10) closing with a Los Angeles premiere.
Directed by Bill Duke, the legal drama stars Aaron Tveit, Edy Ganem, Lou Diamond Phillips, Yohance Myles and Greg Alan Williams
Richard Kletter, Michael Ricigliano, Theta Catalon and Joyce Lewis wrote the script, based on the novel by Roger A. Brown.
Created Equal follows the story of Thomas “Tommy” Reilly (Aaron Tveit), a cocky, up-and-coming attorney, who begrudgingly takes on a case for Sister Alejandra “Allie” Batista (Edy Ganem), who’s desperate to become a priest in the Catholic Church. Against his supervisor’s wishes, Tommy files suit against the Archdiocese of New Orleans for gender discrimination without justifiable cause. As the trial unfolds, an extremist concocts a plot to stop the heresy against the church by attacking and threatening to kill Alejandra if they don’t back off. Tommy’s faith and conviction are tested, and as he’s challenged to question his purpose, he begins the transformation from an egotistical, arrogant person, to one who is committed to a mission larger than his own self-interests.
Duke’s directing credits include “Dark Girls”, “Hoodlums”, “Sister Act 2”, “Deep Cover” and “A Rage in Harlem.” He’s represented by Pantheon and Priluck Company.
