More on The Californer

This gripping film, written by Damon Jamal and Dave Eisenstark, immediately draws you into the dilemma that Tally faces as her husband Will has to try and locate her with no support from the police, as he attempts to rescue her from Dax Lugast, who just killed a cop. It is an intense thriller that reveals the imperfections of Tally, her relationship with her husband, and the perceptions of Black women as kidnap victims.

"This film keeps you guessing, hoping, and wishing every step of the way, until the very end. These are ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances." said director Damon Jamal. "The movie lays bare the treatment Black people face by law enforcement when they are the victims."

"We are excited to team up with Damon Jamal as executive producers on this project" said Leah Daniels Butler of 1oneninety5 Productions. "As a casting director for over 30 years I've always wanted to put together a film from the ground up. Our partnership has created an outstanding film."
