Blackfilm.com has been provided with some exclusive pics from Roger Bobb’s upcoming film, Girlfriends’ Getaway, starring Garcelle Beauvais, Terri Vaughn, Essence Atkins, and Malinda Williams.
Set to premiere at The Pan African Film Festival (PAFF) in Atlanta this weekend (August 7 -10), the film will later air on TV One on Saturday, August 30 at 8PM/ET, with an encore at 11PM/ET and at 11AM/ET on Sunday, August 31st
Set in Trinidad and Tobago, the comedy which is described as Waiting To Exhale meets The Hangover, Girlfriends’ Getaway is about four friends who take a trip to the Caribbean to celebrate two of their friends’ birthdays. One thing leads to another and they get into a bit of trouble.
Beauvais stars as Vicky Holmes, a successful business owner, who is outwardly hitting a stride in love and life. However, just days before a romantic birthday trip, she is blindsided by her boyfriend’s decision to relocate and end their relationship. Vicky ultimately decides to bring her best girlfriends – who are all facing turning points in their lives as well – with her, for a grown-up girls getaway in Trinidad. After their first wild night, an innocent mistake sets off a chain of events that will forever change each of their lives. When the very pregnant Sophie (played by Vaughn) is kidnapped and held for $10,000 ransom, the remaining girls have 24-hours to come together in order to get Sophie back safely or end up in jail.
Directed by Bobb (“Raising Izzie”), who also served as the film’s Executive Producer with Angi Bones serving as Producer, the film was written by Cas Sigers-Beedles, and is a co-production between Bobbcat Films and Siger’s and Vaughn’s Nina Holiday Entertainment.
