Roadside Attractions has acquired the Titus Kaphar Sundance World Premiere Exhibiting Forgiveness. A fall theatrical release for awards consideration is planned.
The pic, which is 95% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and repped Kaphar’s feature directorial debut, follows Tarrell Rodin (Independent Spirit Award winner and SAG nominee André Holland), an admired American painter who lives with his wife, singer-songwriter Aisha (Oscar nominee Andra Day), and young son, Jermaine. His artwork excavates beauty from the anguish of his youth, keeping past wounds at bay. His path to success is derailed by an unexpected visit from his estranged father, La’Ron (Tony Award nominee John Earl Jelks), a recovering addict desperate to reconcile.
La’Ron visits at the invitation of Tarrell’s mother, Joyce (Oscar nominee Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor) a pious woman with a profound and joyful spirituality. She hopes that Tarrell can open his heart to forgiveness, giving them all another chance at being a family. Tarrell and La’Ron learn that forgetting might be a greater challenge than forgiving.
Exhibiting Forgiveness is produced by Stephanie Allain (Hustle & Flow, Dear White People), Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine, The Place Beyond the Pines), Jamie Patricof (Blue Valentine, Half Nelson) and Sean Cotton.
