Following its official selection and world premiere at the 23rd annual American Black Film Festival in Miami, Florida last week, UMC (Urban Movie Channel) – the first and leading streaming service for Black film and television from AMC Networks’ RLJ Entertainment – recently announced its acquisition of the romantic comedy film His, Hers and the Truth.
Written and directed by Coke Daniels, the film will premiere on UMC at www.UMC.tv and the streamer’s various platform partners in December of this year.
One of only 12 narrative features selected from more than 1,000 film submissions, His, Hers and the Truth stars Brad James (“Tyler Perry’s For Better or Worse”) and Ashley A. Williams (“Black Roots,” “Frat Brothers”) as a lovestruck couple who can’t seem to live with or without each other. As the two work on repairing their relationship woes in couples’ therapy, the film takes audiences down memory lane through their hilarious courtship and history of breakups and makeups. From friends with benefits to husband and wife, His, Hers and the Truth takes a real look at the evolution of a relationship and a couple’s fight to preserve it.
