Based on Richard Wright’s 1940 novel, “Native Son,” Suzan-Lori Parks rewrites the story for the screen with Rashid Johnson directing this tale of social injustice and prejudice. Ashton Sanders stars as Bigger “Big” Thomas who finds an opportunity to drive for and live with a wealthy man and his daughter, but he’s suddenly plunged back into his alternate world of reality as he is involved in an accidental death.
Jillian Bell stars as Brittany, a fast-living, irreverent young woman whose lifestyle catches up with her health in “Brittany Runs a Marathon.” In an attempt to clean up her act, she begins to run, one city block at a time, and along the way finds more than she expected. Written and directed by playwright Paul Downs Colaizzo, “Brittany Runs a Marathon” promises a lot of laughs, but more importantly, a lot of “heart and soul.”
