LOS ANGELES – December 8th, 2017 – Ty Whittington, an emerging African American female director, writer and producer who’s works include “Devine Decree”, “Parker & Angel”, “Claustrophobia” and reality web series entitled, “Knot Normal” is a breath of fresh air in an industry dominated by men.
Ty’s latest work, “Parker & Angel” which was first privately screened in Sept. 2017 in Hollywood, CA at Indie Night Film Festival and was recently chosen for the official selection of The Depth Of Field International Film Festival, 2018 Gold Movie Award Goddess Nike in London and will be screened internationally Jan. 8, 2018 in Thailand, Bangkok along with her docs-style reality web series, “Knot Normal” and short film “Divine Decree”.
The new short film, “Parker & Angel”, written and directed by Ty Whittington, produced by Seana Goodson and Ty Whittington and executive produced by Ban Mechael and Jill Allen aptly sheds light on the epidemics of Sexual Assault and drug abuse among woman in the Music Industry. It tells of a heartbreaking story of a homeless woman, Parker,played by Jill Allen, who was once an aspiring singer. Her struggle to become a famous singer led her to the streets due to abuse from men in the industry.
Angel, played by Brooke Besikof, was walking home from school rehearsing for try outs to land the lead in her school choir when she met Parker, who was living under an overpass on the streets, comforted only by her dog, Kimble, and cigarette buds. Parker reluctantly agrees to give Angel voice lessons.
There is a severe scarcity of gender representation in the film and television industry; and one that Ty Whittington wants to help change. This film dominated by not only woman behind the scenes but leading woman in front of the camera is one Ty Whittington takes pride in and wishes to continue. Having set up her own production company “BossChics Films” in 2013, this visionary director thrives on the challenge of new opportunities, having created a series of independent shows, music videos and short films. With an ever expanding repertoire of films behind her, Ty Whittington is sure to lead the way as the next innovative female director on the rise and one to watch out for.
