The Arsema Thomas and Darrell Britt-Gibson-led romance feature She Taught Love from Andscape— the premiere Black-led content studio of Disney-ESPN—is set to debut on Hulu and in select theaters on September 27. Ahead of its wide release, the film will preview at the Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival on Sunday, August 4.

In She Taught Love, ever since getting off a prestigious cable television series, The Street, Frank Cooper (Britt-Gibson) has been coasting through life distracting himself with women, booze and blow, while auditioning to play stereotypical gang members and drug dealers. But the minute he meets Mali Waters (Thomas), a sports agent living for the present, his whole world changes. Despite their worst instincts, Mali and Frank are inescapably drawn to one another. As Mali is forced to face her mortality, the clock begins to tick. The two must learn to rely on each other, choosing to love and live for the moment, even if that’s all they get.

The ensemble cast also stars Taissa Farmiga, Alexander Hodge, D’Arcy Carden and Edwin Lee Gibson. Nate Edwards makes his feature directorial debut with the project and the writing debut of lead Britt-Gibson, who penned the original screenplay.
