A Chicago-based choir and a Houston-based producer join forces to shine a light on the cultural rifts and generational traumas fracturing a black LGBTQ+ family.<\/i><\/p>\n \u2014 Pastor Derail Smith<\/p>\n<\/div>\n HOUSTON, TEXAS, USA, June 6, 2023\/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — PrettyWork Studios announced this week that renowned gospel choir Pastor Derail Smith and The Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer Warriors<\/a> (The Warriors) will collaborate on an upcoming film project titled “My Father, The Queen.”<\/a> The film will explore challenges faced by the black community, such as mental health, family dynamics, and sexuality. <\/p>\n “We are thrilled to be working with Pastor Smith and the choir,” said Lisa N. Alexander, the film\u2019s writer, director, and producer. “Their music is compelling and moving, and we know it will help viewers fully immerse themselves into the story.”<\/p>\n The film, by PrettyWork Studios, is an independent film about a Black daughter who grows up with her closeted gay father. It explores how this experience affects her and illuminates the depths of her “daddy issues.” The story examines the intricacies of generational trauma and the journey toward healing.<\/p>\n The Warriors will provide talent and wardrobe for the film and make their entire discography available to the project. The collaboration is a major coup for the indie film, which is currently in pre-production.<\/p>\n “We are excited to be a part of ‘My Father, The Queen,'” said Pastor Smith, the choir\u2019s overseer. “The film’s message of healing and forgiveness is something that we believe in strongly, and we are honored to be able to contribute to it.”<\/p>\n Alexander is currently fundraising, taking meetings, and building her cast and crew. The film is scheduled to be released in 2024.<\/p>\n About PrettyWork Studios: The Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer Warriors: Lisa Alexander My Father, The Queen Fundraising Trailer<\/p>\n
