We're getting excited over director Jerry Lamothe ('Amour Infinity', 'The Tombs)'s new project which boasts a star studded lineup of Haitian and American talent! "The Promise Keeper" stars Garcelle Beauvais, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Pras Michel, Edwidge Danticat, Jamie Hector, S. Epatha Merkerson and Nonso Anozie to name a few!
This film has been in the making for a few years. 6 years ago Shadow and Act noted that 'The Promise Keeper' would be Lamothe's next feature, describing it as "an intense drama about two childhood best friends from Flatbush,
Brooklyn, that spans over two decades, which showcases the vastly
different directions they each take in life. When one gets deported
back to Haiti, the other takes his first ever visit to the island, in
search of answers, only months after the tragic earthquake that
devastates the country." Obenson, T.A. (2012, May 31) Jerry Lamothe ('Blackout') Prepping Brooklyn/Haiti Set "The Promise Keeper" as His Next Feature Film. Retrieved from http://www.indiewire.com/2012/05/jerry-lamothe-blackout-prepping-brooklynhaiti-set-the-promise-keeper-as-his-next-feature-film-145199/. Back then, Haitian-American mogul Mona Scott Young of the Love and Hip-hop franchise was said to serve as Executive Producer.
Today, Lamothe teased us with what looks like a poster for the film!
Lamothe has been very busy these past few years, having been selected for the 2012-2014 ABC DGA Directing Program and directing 'Saint and Sinners' for BounceTv. We can't wait to see 'The Promise Keeper'.
