In She Taught Love , ever since getting off a prestigious cable television series, The Street , Frank Cooper (Britt-Gibson) has been coasting through life distracting himself with women, booze and blow, while auditioning to play stereotypical gang members and drug dealers. But the minute he meets Mali Waters (Thomas), a sports agent living for the present, his whole world changes. Despite their worst instincts, Mali and Frank are inescapably drawn to one another. As Mali is forced to face her mortality, the clock begins to tick. The two must learn to rely on each other, choosing to love and live for the moment, even if that’s all they get.
The ensemble cast also stars Taissa Farmiga, Alexander Hodge, D’Arcy Carden and Edwin Lee Gibson. Nate Edwards makes his feature directorial debut with the project and the writing debut of lead Britt-Gibson, who penned the original screenplay.
“We are thrilled to bring this wildly romantic film to audiences this fall and honored to have the opportunity to preview She Taught Love at Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival,” Jason Aidoo, Vice President and head of Andscape shared “ She Taught Love is emblematic of the Andscape brand and mission in so many ways. It’s an unapologetically Black and universal story. It’s about joy and the impact of love, and it’s about elevating the next generation of Black talent in Hollywood.”

“ She Taught Love is a celebration of life and love in their most complex and intimate forms, a contemporary love story so necessary for our current society.
