What is Once in a Valentine about?

“Similar to For Colored Girls and Promising Young Woman, Once In A Valentine tells the story of Celeste who was sexually assaulted by a stranger on Valentine’s Day,” the synopsis for the movie reads. “The attack resulted in her becoming pregnant with her daughter, Aila. Years after the brutal attack by the stranger, Celeste still struggles with PTSD. After persistent urging from her friends and family, Celeste finally breaks out of her shell and meets a seemingly perfect man, Noah. Celeste falls instantly in love with him. Noah’s heart is also filled by Celeste, and he proposes after only a few dates. No sooner than Celeste agrees to marry him, she discovers the terrible secret that Noah was in fact the stranger who raped her. Devastated, Celeste must decide how to move forward with the knowledge that her fiancé is her rapist and the father of her child.”

The film stars Clifton Powell (Rush Hour, Next Friday), Bern Nadette Stanis (Good Times), Loren Lott (The Young and the Restless), Jessie Jalee (The Color Purple), Jojo Redd (I Got a Story to Tell), and Jocelyn Castor (Hood Riches).

Johnson, who is making his feature film directorial debut with Once in a Valentine, co-wrote the script with Mary Rivers-Martinez and Jessie Jalee. He also serves as an executive producer alongside Jalee, Len Gibson, Wayne Overstreet, and ATL Kellz.

Once in a Valentine will be released in select United States theaters on August 30, 2024, from Entertainment Squad.
