Trinity Goodheart
Family entertainment GMC will premiere R&B crooner Eric Benét‘s starring role in the indie film ‘Trinity Goodheart‘ on August 20th.
Written by Rhonda Freeman-Baraka and directed by cinematographer Joanne Hock, the film centers around a 12-year-old girl, played by Erica Gluck, on a mission to reunite her disjointed family.
It’s the story of a smart, independent young girl being raised by her single, free-spirited musician father (Benét). Finding comfort in creating decorative paper angels that provide inspiration to her and the patrons of Mr. Kwon’s Deli and Bookstore where she and her father work, Trinity begins to make peace with the fact that her unconventional father and her friend and confidant Mr. Kwon (Hong) may be the only family she ever knows. But when an angel visits and tasks her to find the missing half of a broken heart pendant that once belonged to her long lost mother, Trinity embarks on a mission to find her mom and uncover the truth about her parents’ complicated past. Discovering both sides of her estranged family are alive and accomplished, but missing a deeper sense of connection and purpose, she attempts to use her charm to encourage them to set aside their differences and come together as a family to bring her mother home.
Produced by Rick Eldridge‘s ReelWorks Studios, the film made its debut at the American Black Film Festival (ABFF) in July .
