Premium (2006)

Premium: Directed by Pete Chatmon. With Dorian Missick, Zoe Saldana, Hill Harper, Frankie Faison.

There’s just one problem: Charli’s wedding to another man is only 36 hours away.

“I usually donu0026#39;t do this but Iu0026#39;ve recently started following the chat rooms on PREMIUM and itu0026#39;s been very rewarding to see the response. When we set out to make this film, from a script I started writing in 1999, our objective was to show that emotion and the human experience is something that is universal. I believe we have succeeded in doing that. Putting black characters in the film does not make it only accessible to black people and this film has something for everyone. After all the festivals, reviews, comments, and awards the film has received, it seems like weu0026#39;re striking the right chord and people agree. PREMIUM is all about adding more to the cinematic menu so be sure to check it out when we hit theaters and DVD later this year! Spread the word…”
