Premature

Producer Darren Dean in attendance for 10/18 screening!

Harlem teenager Ayanna is getting ready for her freshman year of college, but when she meets and falls for Isaiah, her last summer as a kid turns into a lesson on the complexities of navigating a very grown-up world. Looking at the heights and depths of the love between two young adults, this intimate love story is a poetic and quiet coming-of-age story.

"A tender ballad-not just about love but age, opportunity, timing-that gets stuck in your head." - RogerEbert.com

 

"It's difficult, it's scary, and it's heartbreaking at times. That's what Howard's beautiful performance conveys." - The Wrap
