I WILL FOLLOW explores the surprising thirst for life we experience after the death of someone we love. Written and directed by Ava DuVernay, the festival award-winning drama chronicles a day in the life of a grieving woman (Salli Richardson-Whitfield), and the twelve visitors who help her move forward in a brave, new world.

Starring Salli Richardson-Whitfield ("I Am Legend," "Antwone Fisher"), along with Blair Underwood ("The Event"), Omari Hardwick ("For Colored Girls"), Beverly Todd ("Crash"), Dijon Talton ("Glee"), Tracie Thoms ("Rent"), and Michole White ("She Hate Me"). Miguel Bunster ("La Linea") is the director of photography, with production design by Jennifer Spence (Paranormal Activity II). The casting director is Aisha Coley ("The Secret Life of Bees") and the editor is Spencer Averick ("My Mic Sounds Nice"). The film is produced by Ava DuVernay and Denise Sexton, with Howard Barish as executive producer, Molly Mayeux as producer and Tilane Jones as associate producer.

I am definitely anticipating the commercial release of this film. This is another dynamic of black film. Many people don't realize how many black films are left at the film festivals and not released in theaters. I would like to see diversity when it comes to black film. I'm looking forward to getting many of these award winning films in front of millions. Support the movement and open your minds. There is way more out there than mainstream television.
