With the success of her TV series 'Eureka,' which airs on the SyFy network, Salli Richardson-Whitfield is gaining lots of exposure this season as she has two films ready to be released this year.
This fall, the 'Posse' beauty co-stars with Michael Jai White in the action spoof film, 'Black Dynamite,' and later on she will headline a film directed by 'Soul Food' star Rockmond Dunbar -- his directorial debut -- entitled 'Pastor Brown.'
Also starring and featured in the film are Nicole Ari Parker, Keith David, Michael B. Jordan, Michael Beach, Tisha Campbell-Martin, Tasha Smith, Dondre T. Whitfield, Rockmond Dunbar, Ernie Hudson, Monica, Angie Stone and India.Arie.
Here's a brief synopsis: When her father unexpectedly falls terminally ill, exotic dancer Jessica "Jesse" Brown returns home for the first time in more than a decade. Her father's dying wish - that she take over as head of Mount Olive Baptist Church - turns her life and her family's life upside down. Jesse accepts her father's commission, thereby pitting herself against her sister and most of the leadership at Mount Olive who know her sordid past. Through accepting her father's request, Jesse embarks upon a course that changes her world forever. Not only does she reconnect with her family and her teenage son, but she also finds the dignity and self-love she lost so long ago.
Produced by Rock Capital Films, the film doesn't have a relea
