D. Woods Starring Alongside Mo’Nique In New Film, Blackbirds

Blackbird is set to debut during the Black Film Festival. The film tells the story of Randy Rousseau, a 17-year-old choir boy living with his family in a tight-knit Mississippi town who not only struggles with his “misfit” status in the religiously-conservative community but is consistently plagued by a series of disturbing premonitions. Randy’s world becomes even more complicated when the sudden disappearance of his younger sister results in the breakup of his parents – an event his grief-stricken mother blames him for after discovering a shocking secret he’s been hiding. Blackbird is based off the novel by Larry Duplechan, executive produced by Mo’Nique and her husband Sidney Hicks.
