THE LAST TIME | a Domestic Violence Awareness Film Project

PG-13, 45m

Film Synopsis

The Last Time presents a powerful portrayal of a pertinent issue in today’s society by chronicling the story of a modern-day power couple whose seemingly perfect life contradicts their private encounters with domestic abuse. The film grabs your attention through the eyes of the main characters “Jasmine and Justin Brimly”, played by Reece Odum and Wardell Richardson.  Jasmine ultimately finds herself in a place of desperation, conflicted between wanting to seek help but fearful of losing public esteem. The Last Time compels discussion regarding the warning signs of domestic abuse, support mechanisms, self-worth and authenticity.

The Last Time film will make its television debut on September 5, 2017 at 8:00 pm EST, airing on Aspire TV as part of the network’s ABFF Independent Segment.
