Pedro Correa has summer plans…
The Latino actor will star in Summer of Violence, the first feature written and directed by actress Nicki Micheaux, which has wrapped production.
Correa is starring opposite Kasey Inez, Jahking Guillory and Damon Gupton in the film.
Summer of Violence is a coming-of-age film, emerging from Micheaux’s time with the Sundance Writing Collab, which was shot in Colorado.
The film from Three60 Films follows a young college grad, Naomi (Inez), who turns down law school to pursue poetry, despite her father’s objections. She subsequently struggles to survive in 1993 Denver, after being cut off by her father during a period of violent crime in the city known as the Summer of Violence. Guillory plays Naomi’s artist friend, Frank, with Correa as her boyfriend Richie, and Gupton as her father, Thomas.
Micheaux is producing the pic with her production company partner, Johnny Wimbrey, as well as Efuru Flowers and Sean Riggs.
Correa’s credits include Peter Farrelly’s recent Apple film The Greatest Beer Run Ever with Zac Efron and Russell Crowe and Hulu’s Little Fires Everywhere, among other projects.
