Set in the 1980s in Harlem, NY, this exciting story comes to life as it shows their journey of love while navigating the nuances of the drug game, and their movement towards positivity when tragedy strikes.
"I am humbled and honored to have partnered with Manny Halley and Imani Motion Pictures to bring the True To The Game vision to life. As my fans have been anticipating this release for years, I am anxious for the loyal readers to view this adaptation on the big screen," says Teri Woods, Author of True To The Game.
"As a fan of Teri Woods and her creative contributions to depict the reality of urban life, I am excited to have acquired the rights and bring her vision to life. True To The Game is a favorite because it highlights everything that all people want: financial prosperity, love and happiness.
