The film stars Graves, Tiaramy Maloy, Antoine Tate, Twon Marcel Pope, Taariq Muhammad, Rhonda Ray, G Harvey.

Written by DeLane McDuffie and starring Atika Greene and Twon Marcel Pope, “Amy and Neil” is about a 90’s couple that comedically battles gender roles on a date.

The film was produced and directed by both Johnson and Pope.

Created and executive produced by J’Lamar Nichols, “Quarantine Love” is about three potential couples and throuples quarantined in stylish bunkers for 30 days try to find love.

The film was co-executive produced and directed by Johnson.

Each film festival date will have a red carpet, followed by premiere screenings of the three new Philaye Films short films, as well as panels with the creatives.

In 2022, Philaye Films premiered two films on streaming services: “The Unhinged” and “Maybe Next Christmas.” Both of those films were released in 2021 with much success.
