EXCLUSIVE: Brandon Wilson (Nickel Boys), model Soap Collins, and Aaron Holliday (Sharp Objects) are starring in Pockets of Heaven, the feature directorial debut of Maria Belafonte, granddaughter of Hollywood icon and civil rights trailblazer Harry Belafonte.
Joining the ensemble are Oscar nominee Alfre Woodard (12 Years a Slave), along with Jonas Gindin (Lurker) and Gilberto Ortiz (Atropia). Making his feature acting debut in the film is rapper-musician Mavi.
Set against the backdrop of a Los Angeles wildfire evacuation, the film “follows three young people from vastly different worlds: a privileged runaway from rehab and two unhoused 20-somethings surviving in a burn zone. As their lives intertwine, the film explores the fragile boundaries between love, addiction, and survival in modern Los Angeles.”
The film, co-written by Belafonte and Alexander Zeke Musca with cinematography by Angel Barroeta, wrapped principal photography in December in Los Angeles.
