First-time feature director Nia DaCosta will see the official release of her filmLittle Woods tomo
First-time feature director Nia DaCosta will see the official release of her film Little Woods tomorrow, April 19. Little Woods is a blend of familial drama, neo-western, and crime thriller with a focus on the perspective of women navigating highly politicized conflicts like the opioid crisis and restricted access to reproductive health care. The film stars Tessa Thompson and Lily James as estranged sisters struggling under the strains of poverty in a North Dakota oil boomtown. Thompson has been involved with the film since the 2015 Sundance Institute Directors Lab, where she volunteered her time to be a resource actress for the project. DaCosta is currently directing the ‘spiritual sequel’ to the 1992 horror classic Candyman.1, 2, 4, 6, 7: © 2015 Sundance Institute | Photo by Brandon Cruz ; 3: © Sundance Institute | Photo by Fred Hayes ; 5: © 2017 Sundance Institute | Photo by Kate Webber -- source link
