*We’ve got news you can use from Essence, but up first, “Power’s” Omari Hardwick and Meagan Good have teamed to star in the indie romance drama “A Boy. A Girl. A Dream: Love On Election Night.”
The film centers on a romance that begins on Trump’s election night, and co-stars Jay Ellis (“Insecure”), Dijon Talton, Wesley Jonathan, and Affion Crockett.
Here’s a snippet of Deadline’s write-up on the film:
Produced by Datari Turner and written and directed by Qasim Basir (Destined), the story follows a Los Angeles club promoter named Cass (Hardwick), who on the night of the 2016 Presidential Election meets a woman named Free (Good) who challenges him to revisit his broken dreams. This happens during a series of unfortunate events during the time that Trump is surging ahead of Hilary Clinton.
Good, who also starred and co-produced the indie films “A Girl Like Grace,” “Video Girl,” and “Dysfunctional Friends” with Turner, is an executive producer on the film as is Hardwick.
