Director Matthew A. Cherry‘s debut feature film, The Last Fall, which stars Lance Gross, Nicole Beharie, Sinorice Moss, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Harry Lennix Jr., Keith David and Darren Henson, will hit theaters on Friday, October 26th, in Los Angeles, at the Rave Theaters in the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw plaza.

Image Entertainment, which Bob Johnson’s RLJ recently purchased, will distribute the film. They already have the rights to all non-theatrical North American rights (VOD, digital, Blu-ray and broadcast).

The Last Fall is produced by Nikki Love and Scott Herbert with Cherry.

After several years in the playing professional football, 25 year-old Kyle Bishop (played by Gross) is released from his fourth team in three years and returns to his home town, broke and at a complete loss about what he will do for a living. After an initially cold reception, Kyle reconnects with Faith Davis (played by Beharie), his old high school sweetheart. Ready to leave football far in the past, Kyle gets a job at a local gym and starts planning a new life with Faith and her young son, Von. However, when Kyle unexpectedly gets a lucrative offer from another professional team, and the father of Faith’s son, Rell, tries to win his way back in her life, he is torn about what path to take.
