Star defensive end for the Baltimore Ravens, Terrell Suggs, takes his off the field skills to the entertainment industry with the short film “sisters.” Produced by Team Sizzle Worldwide and directed by Monica Mingo, “sisters.” takes viewers on a journey of two siblings working through the complexities and challenges of their relationship. Selected in the New Visions category of the American Black Film Festival (ABFF), “Sisters” is one of twenty-four films selected to represent outstanding independent filmmaking. “sisters.” premieres June 26, 2010 at 5:45 p.m. at the Miami Beach Cinematheque.
“sisters.” follows the story of Charlie and her baby sister Rebecca through an emotional period of discovery, self realization and redefined love. Rebecca, the needy self centered baby sister, invites Charlie to lunch in what appears to be a hidden excuse to ask for money. Little does Charlie know, the news Rebecca has to share will rock both Charlie and Rebecca’s world forever. Audiences will be drawn in by the emotional rollercoaster and complex issues faced by so many on a day to day basis.
The ABFF selectee is produced and backed by Team Sizzle Worldwide, a production company started by NFL star Terrell Suggs as an outlet to explore his passion for filmmaking and entertainment. The three-time pro bowler and all pro defensive end teamed up with rising director Monica Mingo to produce “sisters.;” solidifying their spot in the filmmaking industry.
Monica Mingo got her production start while at the student program at the Cannes International Film Festival in 2008. She later went on to intern under Oscar nominated director, Spike Lee, during the post production of his film “Miracle at St. Anna.” “sisters.” is Mingo’s first directing credit and first film to be selected in the American Black Film Festival.
