Taraji P. Henson will be making her directorial debut on feature film Two-Faced. The Oscar nominated actress will star in the dramedy film about a hopeful Black student named Joy who is trying to get into the college of her dreams only for her mission to be hindered by her principal, Jerald, after she reveals his racist history.
“After two decades spent in front of the camera, I’m thrilled to finally jump behind it for my feature directorial debut,” Henson said. “It’s important that stories be told from a woman’s point of view and partnering with BRON Studios and the amazingly talented Tim Story – both who use their platforms to help elevate women and people of color – feels like the perfect match. I can’t wait to bring this hilariously heartfelt script by Cat Wilkins to life!”
The film was penned by recent UCLA Screenwriters Showcase winner Cat Wilkins. Henson partnered with BRON Studios for the production.
“Taraji is an important voice in the world and BRON is thrilled to support her directorial debut, of a script from Cat Wilkins, that through its comedic elements examines race and culture in America,” Aaron L. Gilbert of BRON Studios said.
Gilbert, Henson, Tim Story and Sharla Sumpter Bridgett will produce, while Trent Hubbard, Cat Wilkins and Christine Conley will executive produce.
