The film stars Clifton Powell, Obumneme Nwankwo, and Najma Shy Mitch.
The brainchild of screenwriter and executive producer, Alfred “Shaborn” Adams, PLAYER promises to change the game when it comes to developing thought-provoking films that leave audiences wanting more.
Adams is a gifted author with eight published novels under his belt, making his transition into the film industry an inevitability. With Adams’ vision for storytelling transferred onto the big screen, Dewey Hill Films will become an unstoppable force in creating captivating films.The first project that will spearhead their launch is “PLAYER,” directed by Justin Poage with Fifteen Studios.
Based on a novel written by Adams, PLAYER takes viewers through Robert’s life experiences as he veers off course into sexual promiscuity and disregards everything he was taught growing up by the women in his life:
“PLAYER is based on a novel I wrote”, says Adams, “which highlights the journey of a young black man who grew up in a house of women and no male role model. Although he grows up surrounded by love and positive teachings, Robert (like many of us), would not only choose his own path, one that is filled with unwise decision making, but also mistreatment of countless women. Whereas, neither is it a crime, my idea for this story is to show people that there are consequences to how we treat people. We always hear about karma, but PLAYER gives a ‘visual’ to what karma looks like!”
This story represents what many individuals face without the presence of a male figure – how do you rebuild your life? It is a powerful tale of redemption and resilience.
Dewey Hills Films was launched in 2023, and despite having only released one movie so far, they are already sending shockwaves throughout the film industry.
Legendary award winning actor Clifton Powell shares what ultimately made him accept his role in the independent film PLAYER:
“I read this piece and it really touched my heart, because people see me play different characters but when I play tough guys, it’s all acting because I’ve never been arrested, never been in trouble. And so, I always take my hats off to Sha, because to know all that he has been through, I would not know psychologically what it takes to do a second in prison. To know that he has been inside, he came out and turned his life around and produced an independent film? That’s the kind of brothers I take my hats off to. We have got to continue to do more stuff like this,” Powell exclaimed.
