ATLANTA, Jan. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- What happens if we choose to disregard the existence of color? That's the provocative premise of the new short film "Yogurt Raisin" from director Elisee Junior St. Preux, who partnered with Lena Waithe's Hillman Grad Productions on the Indeed Rising Voices short film "Aurinko in Adagio," and acclaimed screenwriter William E. Roebuck Jr ("2020 Year of the Nurse").

In the film, a group of longtime friends find themselves in a precarious position that will alter their relationship forever. The incisive film digs deep into the subject of cultural appropriation and tells a story of human connection while exploring the value of brotherhood and the truths that lie in between.

“The goal with the film is to present a picture that is conversational and powerful, one that makes viewers reflect on the aspects of interaction, friendship and morality.”

"The goal with the film is to present a picture that is conversational and powerful, one that makes viewers reflect on the aspects of interaction, friendship and morality," St. Preux says. "No matter how long we've been integrated as a community, this cultural conversation still exists, and 'Yogurt Raisin' is here to commence the discussion."

Ron Fallica stars as Jacob Taylor, a successful middle-class white male that is obsessed with the African American culture. Fallica has appeared in "Stranger Things," the upcoming season of "Claws," "House of Cards" and the 2021 release "Lansky." Other cast members include Grammy award winning artist, songwriter and philanthropist Q Parker as Bryant; Wesley Tunison (Eugenia & John) as Chad; Trivon Howard (Death of a Salesman) as Daryl; and William 'Cowboy' Reed (The Walking Dead) as Greg.

The film is being executive produced by Anthony J. Davis of Humble Life Productions, which recently completed the short film "Spin." "Yogurt Raisin" will begin shooting in and around the Atlanta area beginning in February 2022.
