Ideal age is 40s, but we are open to 30s up to 60s & open to all South Asian backgrounds ( East India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc.)
Details surrounding the feature film have not been released. However, according to Variety, Ava DuVernay’s next movie will be based around Hurricane Katrina set in New Orleans, Louisiana.
“Hurricane Katrina is one of the most important social and environmental stories of our time,” said King. “Ava DuVernay has shown herself to be highly skilled at bringing intimacy and contemporary urgency to epic events. We have been looking for the right way to get back in business with Ava, and with David Oyelowo, and are proud to reteam with them on her original idea, which we believe will be a powerful film.”
