Mariama Diallo makes her directorial debut with her film *Master (2022). Starring Regina Hall, best known for Nine Perfect Strangers (2021), the film follows the lives of three African-American women, each trying to find their place at a largely white university and achieve a milestone. The film will be available this winter on Amazon Prime Video.
Currently, Master is still running at the Sundance Film Festival and the film is receiving reasonable critical acclaim. Critics describe Master as a mix of horror, drama and social criticism. In addition to Hall, Amber Gray and Zoe Renee also star. Hall takes on the role of Gail Bishop and becomes the first black woman to be elected head of the living room. Liv Beckman, played by Gray, is an energetic and optimistic freshman who moves into a room that is said to be haunted. Then there’s Jasmine Moore, played by Renee, who qualifies for a job at the university as a teacher.
Hall is not only one of the protagonists of the film, but also partly produced the film. Unfortunately, Amazon Prime Video has not yet released a trailer for this upcoming drama.
Master will be available worldwide on March 18 via Amazon Prime Video.
