For a man brimming with energy and talent, a step into production is long overdue and that’s what John Boyega is bringing to God Is Good in his role as Executive Producer. Described by producers as being ‘in the vein of Prisoners and City Of God’, the film will also see Boyega launch a record label, UpperRoom Records, with its first release being the soundtrack to the film.
“I’m thrilled to be teaming once again with Josephine Rose on such a powerful and important story that explores themes of fathers and fatherhood, toxic masculinity, race and faith in a community that has become trapped in an unending cycle of violence and racial oppression, and where sometimes it seems for men that violence is the only way of achieving power.
“Willem has written a superb screenplay and we are looking forward to working with him to realise the vision behind it. Josephine, Yara, Stefan and I also all share a passion for music and this film enables us to work with local talent in South Africa to find those voices and help put them on the international stage by also bringing on internationally renowned Afro beats artists. The team will work with artists across the continent of Africa to create a soundtrack that represents and gives voice to the incredible range of music talent and sound that the continent produces.”
