SOLACE (2018)
NAME OF FILM: SOLACE (2018)
DIRECTOR(S): Tchaiko Omawale
STARRING: Hope Olaide Wilson, Chelsea Tavares, Lynn Whitfield, Glynn Turman.
GENRE: Drama Film
SYNOPSIS: Finding your own path when everyone around you wants you to be someone different can feel insurmountable. Solace examines these conflicting pressures and the toll they invariably take. When her father dies, Sole, a bright, politically engaged seventeen-year-old, is sent across the country to L.A. to live with her intensely religious and controlling grandmother (performed stunningly by Lynn Whitfield). Desperate to return to New York, Sole convinces her erratic neighbour and new friend, Jasmine, to join an art/activist group with the aim of winning a grant that will help Sole return home. But with Sole acutely drawn to Jasmine’s freedom and disorder, will all that chaos distract her from her endeavour?
