As a fan of the time travel films like BACK TO THE FUTURE and astronaut dramas, I didn't see a lot of Black people on my screen. Definitely not as the lead.
So, I decided to write one.
Here's the trailer for our Black boy sci-fi thriller THE BOY WHO PROMISED THE MOON

WHAT IF THE FIRST PERSON TO WALK ON THE MOON WAS A BLACK MAN?
WHAT GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND WOULD IT BE?
Here's the teaser trailer for #TheBoyWhoPromisedTheMoon
Written and directed by me.

I wrote this story because I wanted to see more Black boys as leads in the sci-fi genre.
Black astronauts.
Black people time traveling.
Black people in space.
Black people reclaiming our history.
Some legacies are meant to be rewritten.
