State Streets is teaming up with iDeal Partners for the drama, which stars Jennifer Hudson as a drug addict mother whose arrest forces her son and his best friend to fend for themselves.
The script was penned by Michael Starrbury, and the film stars Jordin Sparks, Jeffrey Wright, Jennifer Hudson and Anthony Mackie. A quick glance at screenwriter Starrbury's imdb, shows a few credits under his belt including the 2011 TV film Black Jack starring Ving Rhames and a few shorts.
It's not yet known what roles the other actors will play in the film. But we're working on finding out the rest of the details.
The film is being co-produced by Alicia Keys who co-starred with Hudson in The Secret Life of Bees.
Production began today in Brooklyn.

It will be good to see Jennifer doing something diverse, but I feel as if the drug addicted mother role has been done plenty of times by African American actresses already. Why can't she be a pilot juggling motherhood, Lord.......

Jeffrey Wright is a great actor, I look forward to seeing him in this project.
