Brittany S. Hall to headline Mike Ho’s action thriller ‘Imani’
Deadline reports that Brittany S. Hall (Ballers) has found her first lead film role in the upcoming action film Imani, which Mike Ho is directing for Faith Media Distribution, in his feature debut.
Others joining the ensemble include Demetrius Shipp Jr. (All Eyez on Me), Stephen Bishop (The Terminal List), Kris D. Lofton (Power Book IV: Force), Elyse Mirto (Dynasty) and Michael Monks (King Saud). Amaleka McCall and Tu-Shonda Whitaker wrote the script.
Loosely based on the novel Goddess of War by SLMN, Imani follows the story of Faith Newford (Hall), who has it all, living a seemingly normal life as a mother and wife to Bryce Newford (Shipp). A year after what Faith thinks was a car accident, she slowly recovers from amnesia, only to learn that she is a highly powerful, sought-after Army Special Ops Lieutenant who holds classified intel that would blow the lid off an international conspiracy.
Manny Halley, Rodney Turner II and Yolanda Halley of Faith Media Distribution are producing the pic, slated for release in late fall.
