“Everyone on the movie collectively owns the movie.” A24 has unveiled another beautiful promo featurette for Sing Sing, directed by filmmaker Greg Kwedar. This initially premiered at last year’s 2023 Toronto Film Festival to rave reviews, with many critics calling it one of the best of the fest. It’s ready to open in art house theaters starting in July and will expand into more cities in August – check your local listings. Oscar nominee Colman Domingo stars in a rapturous role as Divine G – imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn’t commit, he finds purpose by acting in a theatre group alongside other incarcerated men, including a wary newcomer – in this “stirring true story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art,” starring an unforgettable ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors. Which makes a very big difference. Based on the real-life arts rehabilitation programme founded at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, Kwedar’s film follows a troupe of incarcerated actors working on a play. Also starring Clarence Maclin, Sean San Jose, and Paul Raci. This is such a lovely video focusing on how the film is an expression of brotherhood, a connection of everyone who contributed to making it. (Here’s the full trailer.) I cannot wait to watch this. // Continue Reading ›
