New
York, NY
(BlackNews.com) - This is part of an open call to drum up
support for G, a new movie which opens around the country
on Friday October 28th. G is a contemporary African-American
romance inspired by the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald story
The Great Gatsby. This film was produced independently because
Hollywood Studios chose to pass on it based on their belief
that the African-American community would not show up to support
a movie outside of the stereotype-laden films which are frequently
made. The producers of the film have set out to prove them
wrong!
G
is a rich, vibrant film starring Blair Underwood (L.A.
Law, Madea's Family Reunion), Richard T. Jones (Collateral,
Judging Amy) and Andre Royo (Shaft, The Wire) that shows
people of color living in an upper-class setting and
dealing with the trappings of money, fame and unrequited
love. In portraying such a world, it celebrates the
diversity of African-American culture, something which
is sorely lacking among the usual entertainment film
fare offered to this community.
Set amidst the grandeur of the ultra elite Hamptons,
G follows self-made millionaire and rap mogul Summer
G (Richard T. Jones) on a journey to regain what he
desires most the love of his life (Chenoa Maxwell),
now married to a wealthy and philandering Wallstreeter
(Blair Underwood). Having built his thriving empire
from the ground up, Summer G would relinquish it all
for the promise of rekindling a romance with his one
true love.
Urban music writer, Tre, (Andre Royo) spends the summer
chronicling the lifestyle of this complex rap mogul
for an article on the rise of African-American prominence
linked to Hip Hop in the Hamptons. Without malice or
intent, this writer brings these lovers together while
simultaneously pulling their worlds apart. G is directed
by Christopher Scott Cherot, who made his directorial
debut with the independent film "Hav Plenty, and written
by Cherot and Charles E. Drew, Jr.
In order for more movies of this nature to be filmed,
African-Americans must demonstrate that the Black community
will support them. The film opens FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28th
around the country, and all are encouraged to go see
"G" during the opening weekend.
Films like this should be made and it is about time
that Hollywood takes notice. For more information about
