"The Talented," directed by Howard University graduate Marcus Richardson, highlights the crazy twists and turns of two college students' search for their place in a society that promotes promiscuity and irresponsibility. (See more of the synopsis here).
In this, her second, movie role Dior Ashley Brown plays the mother of the male protagonist, Joe (played by Howard Brown). In one of the films many powerful scenes, Joe confesses a haunting secret to his mother, leaving her shocked, disoriented, and in fear of her son's life.
"Howard is one of the most committed and detailed actors I have ever worked with," Brown said. "We both wanted this moment to remain honest to create Marcus' vision. This was such a wonderful experience with an incredible cast and crew."
"I'm excited!" she continued. "There is a constant theme in the urban community of senseless tragedies; 'The Talented's' unique depiction still displays hope that we as a community can become aware and bring about change."
