Miami Carver
A feature film currently in pre-production.
In the vein of recent award-wining films such asGreen Book, Hidden Figures, Barry Jenkins' If Beale Street Could Talk, Ava DuVarnay's Selma, and Tate Taylor's The Help, Miami Carver's narrative explores the relationships and events that led Martin Luther King Jr. to the Miami home of retired, Jewish, Overtown hotel owner, for what would become an historic impromptu dinner in the summer of 1959.
Based on actual events and set against the percolating racial tensions at the dawn of the 1960's, the film details the unlikely partnership of Alfred Harrow, a semi-retired, struggling Jewish hotel owner, and Dwight "D.D." Davidson, an immensely talented but highly temperamental African American jazz trumpeter, as they conspire to take advantage of the impending Overtown arrival of Martin Luther King, Jr. to make their dreams come true
