DEVOTION is an evocative drama that tells the story of
Alice, a bi-racial
eleven-year-old girl, who has recently lost her mother in a
car accident
due to her father's drunk driving. As father and
daughter begin a new life,
Alice is haunted by nightmares and memories of her mother's
death, and the
new woman in her father's life. Alice's identification
with her mother who
was white, and reluctant forgiveness of her father, who is
black, forms
the heart of this bi-racial coming of age story.
To be released later this year, DEVOTION is the first
feature film by
writer/director Dawn Wilkinson and introduces Jasmine
Richards in a
remarkable performance.
