ESPN’s Andscape’s next major release is a new movie called “She Taught Love.” It tells the story of Frank Cooper, who, ever since getting off a prestigious cable television series, “The Street”, has been coasting through life distracting himself with women, booze and blow while auditioning to play stereotypical gang members and drug dealers. But the minute he meets Mali Waters, a sports agent living for the present, his whole world changes. Despite their worst instincts, Mali and Frank are inescapably drawn to one another. As Mali is forced to face her mortality, the clock begins to tick. The two must learn to rely on each other, choosing to love and live for the moment, even if that’s all they get.

“She Taught Love” stars Arsema Thomas and Darrell Britt-Gibson, along with Taissa Farmiga, Alexander Hodge, D’Arcy Carden and Edwin Lee Gibson.

It has been directed by Nate Edwards, who is making his feature directorial debut, who explained what the film is about to Deadline:

“She Taught Love is a celebration of life and love in their most complex and intimate forms, a contemporary love story so necessary for our current society. Darrell Britt-Gibson, the writer and co-star, has truly crafted a script that transcends the typical romantic drama. I’m immensely grateful to the cast and crew, some of the most influential cultural leaders in the game, for bringing their all to the project.  I’m thrilled that Marginal and Andscape bet on my vision to create a sexy, elegant film that feels like a Wong Kar Wai masterpiece, and bring this story to global audiences at a time when love is more needed than ever.”

Jason Aidoo, Vice President and Head of Andscape, added:

“We are thrilled to bring this wildly romantic film to audiences this fall and honored to have the opportunity to preview She Taught Love at Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival.  “She Taught Love is emblematic of the Andscape brand and mission in so many ways. It’s an unapologetically Black and universal story. It’s about joy and the impact of love, and it’s about elevating the next generation of Black talent in Hollywood.”

Marginal MediaWorks’ Sanjay Sharma and Milan Chakraborty produced the film alongside Hadley Klein and Pete Van Auker. Executive producers include Jason Aidoo and Britt-Gibson.

The movie is going to be released on September 27th 2024, in select theatres and on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.   No international Disney+ release details have been announced.   The film will also premiere at Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival on Sunday, 4th August 2024.
