Robert Townsend has been working on his documentary, Making Of The Five Heartbeats, for years. But now, “it’s finally ready to be born.”
The documentary chronicles Townsend’s journey as a young black writer/director.
About 10,000 people auditioned to be in the film, including a Hollywood star. Townsend did not want to name the star but he did give a hint, “she’s the star of a successful TNT show.”
The Five Heartbeats documentary premieres in 500 theaters nationwide one night only, August 27. Visit FathomEvents.com to see where it’s playing near you.
