Sundown Town Casts Controversial Roles | Birmingham News
Description
A new film called “Sundown Town” is casting 28 non-union roles for a chilling story about Black college friends stranded in a hostile town where racist legends come to life — echoing America’s dark “sundown town” history. Directed by Birmingham’s viral sensation Kinigra Deon — a Tyler Perry-style creator with 6 million subscribers — the project blends horror with social commentary, featuring roles like a racist cop, a white-passing “bougie” woman, and an albino Black male. With 12 white and 7 Black roles specified, it’s part of Tubi’s creator program and backed by Kevin Hart’s Hartbeat. Shooting this summer in Birmingham, the film promises a bold, timely exploration of racial trauma — and could spark major conversation.
