Fatima Washington is a multi-talented filmmaker who began her professional career directing music videos for record labels while pursuing a graduate film degree at USC's School of Cinematic Arts.

Veteran actor Paula Jai Parker co-starred and features Washington's dream cast: Charles Malik Whitefield, Golden Brooks, Chris Williams, Kelitta Smith, Tsai Chin, and Faizon Love.
