Detroit Director Dennis Reed II Hits Two Home Runs with New Films in March
He Said She Said tells the tale of a young couple wrecked by lies, cheating and uncertainty. Add in a nosy best friend, persistent exes, and overly-concerned family members, and count on some explosive drama. Adapted from Dennis Reed II’s original stage play, the rom-com stars cast members from the original play, Lemastor Spratling and Velda Hunter; along with Juju Cee, known best for her appearance in VH1’s Love & Hip Hop New York; and actors including Chris Flannogan, Mena Monroe, and Kaamel a.k.a. Diezel.
“Having both the number one and number two films at the same time is amazing, definitely a win for our teams at DRII Productions and Homestead,” Reed says of this exciting time. “The recognition feels good because I’m fully independent, leveling up with the big boys. It’s incredible to be able to create and film dope movies right here in Detroit, and see people appreciating them.”
Homestead co-founders Leonard Burnett and Rob Johnson are on the same page with Dennis Reed II as they celebrate a strong first quarter. “Homestead was founded on the premise that talented filmmakers of color are often not presented with the same opportunities to share their art with the world. The popularity of Dennis Reed’s He Said, She Said and Indictment films, and Antoine Allen’s Lola confirms our long-held belief that there is a strong appetite for diverse, compelling, and original content. It is exciting to watch audiences experience and enjoy films that may have previously gone under the radar. We are thrilled to be at the forefront of bringing new and original voices to the screen.”
