IFC Films has released the official trailer and poster for PREMATURE the striking sophomore feature film by Rashaad Ernesto Green. Headlined by a brave breakthrough performance by Zora Howard, who co-wrote the screenplay with Green. The powerful, coming-of-age film premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and recently received two Film Independent Spirit Awards nominations. IFC Films will release the film in theaters on Friday, February 21 in NY at the IFC Center, in LA and select cities and on VOD platforms.
On a summer night in Harlem during her last months at home before starting college, seventeen-year-old poet Ayanna (Zora Howard) meets Isaiah (Joshua Boone), a charming music producer who has just moved to the city. It’s not long before these two artistic souls are drawn together in a passionate summer romance.
But as the highs of young love give way to jealousy, suspicion, and all-too-real consequences, Ayanna must confront the complexities of the adult world—whether she is ready or not. Emotionally raw, intimate, and honest, PREMATURE is at once timeless and bracingly contemporary in its portrait of a young woman navigating the difficult choices that can shape a life.
