A24 has released the trailer and poster to The Last Black Man in San Francisco, winner of the Best Director and Special Jury Awards at this years’s Sundance Film Festival.
The film stars Jimmie Fails, Jonathan Majors, Rob Morgan, Tichina Arnold, Danny Glover, Mike Epps, Finn Wittrock and Thora Birch
Joe Talbot is making his feature directorial debut from a screenplay he wrote with Rob Richert. It’s based on a short he and Fails made in 2017. The film is based on events from Fails’ life.
The Last Black Man in San Francisco is a sweeping story about friendship and holding on to your roots in a rapidly changing world. The story focuses on Fails’ desire to retain his family home, which was built by his grandfather, against the backdrop of a rapidly-gentrifying San Francisco. Fails and his oddball best friend Prentice, who both live in the city’s last black neighborhood, go on a search for a sense of belonging in a changing city that seems to no longer understand them.
