XLrator has released some clips to “Destined,” written and directed by Qasim Basir and starring Cory Hardrict. The film will hit theaters on November 17.

Through the parallel stories of two young men, Sheed and Rasheed (both played by Cory Hardrict), DESTINED explores how the smallest incident can manifest itself into a life changing event. In one world, Sheed is a hardened criminal who has spent years building his drug empire. In another, Rasheed is an ambitious architect who has been working his way up the corporate ladder. Through the lens of parallel realities and lives, DESTINED explores how one man’s future can be changed by a single moment. As they navigate their respective worlds, they face similar dilemmas – street violence to corporate corruption — demonstrating that on any path, life is never simple and the journey toward fulfilling your destiny is always full of choices.
The film is produced by Tommy Oliver through his Confluential Films banner (“1982,” “Kinyarwanda”), Rick Rosenthal, and Matt Ratner.
