Synopsis
An Official Selection of AFI Fest, Chicago International Film Festival, RiverRun Film Festival and Winner of the Narrative Audience Award at Urbanworld Film Festival, I WILL FOLLOW is a quiet drama that explores the surprising thirst for life we experience after the death of someone we love.
Maye is a success. Hot career. Hot boyfriend. But when her world is turned upside down by family tragedy, she must struggle to maintain her balance. I WILL FOLLOW chronicles a day in the life of a woman at a crossroads, and the twelve visitors who help her move into a brave, new world.
Marking the narrative directorial debut of music documentarian Ava DuVernay (This is The Life, My Mic Sounds Nice), I WILL FOLLOW stars Salli Richardson- Whitfield ("I Am Legend," "Antwone Fisher") as "Maye," with Omari Hardwick ("For Colored Girls"), Dijon Talton ("Glee"), Tracie Thoms ("Rent"), Michole White ("She Hate Me") and Blair Underwood ("The Event") with Beverly Todd ("Crash").
The talented behind-the-scenes team of I WILL FOLLOW includes cinematographer Miguel Bunster (La Linea) with production design by Jennifer Spence (Paranormal Activity II). The casting director is Aisha Coley (The Secret Life of Bees) and the editor is Spencer Averick (My Mic Sounds Nice). The film is produced by Denise Sexton and Ava DuVernay, with Howard Barish as executive producer, Molly Mayeux as producer and Tilane Jones as associate producer.
I WILL FOLLOW is the first theatrical release from the grassroots black film distribution collective known as African-American Film Festival Releasing Movement (AFFRM), which will open the film day and date in select cities in concert with AMC Independent on March 11, 2011.
