*”A Snowy Day in Oakland,” releasing March 17, 2023, is a film that features a star-studded cast including Nicole Ari Parker, Deon Cole, Kimberly Elise, Loretta Devine, Michael Jai White, Keith David and Evan Ross explores meaningful themes such as the importance of mental health within the Black community, entrepreneurship and navigating relationships and family.
The film is directed by Kim Bass and is centered around Latrice Monroe, a therapist (Nicole Ari Parker) who decides to end a stalled romance with her longtime, high-profile, psychiatrist, boyfriend/business partner. She moves into a predominately African-American and psychologically ignored neighborhood and navigates her practice, her relationships, and her sanity with the town’s most prominent personalities Davis (Deon Cole) Jeanette (Loretta Devine), and Theona (Kimberly Elise). Her private practice is in a vacant, street-front office space in the middle of a minor, commercial block across the bay in Oakland.
“Five years in the making, Snowy Day is not only a passion project but a very personal and poignant story that I am eager to share with the movie-going audience. Partnering with Planet 9 Productions and PoC Studios for its production and release is literally a dream come true!”
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to have A Snowy Day in Oakland as our debut theatrical release,” said Labid Aziz. “It’s a film that tackles a real issue in a fun, light, and memorable way, and will leave audiences thinking and hopefully talking about the issue in a meaningful way as well. Also, John and Kim have been a dream team to work with, exactly the type of talented, forward-thinking people we need in this business,” said Bass according to Deadline.
