In Exhibiting Forgiveness, painter Titus Kaphar makes his feature directorial debut with the story of Tarrell (André Holland), an artist struggling with the reappearance in his life of his estranged father, La’Ron (John Earl Jelks), and the harsh way in which he raised him.
Awards Buzz spoke with Andra Day about playing Tarrell’s wife Aisha and working alongside Holland and Jelks. Watch the video above to hear how Kaphar’s influence shaped her and the interaction of music and visual art in the film.
Exhibiting Forgiveness had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and opens in theaters on October 18th.
