Premature
Directed by Raashad Ernesto Green
2019, USA, 89 min

Ayanna is making the most out of her last summer in Harlem before heading to college. She’s bold, confident, and not really looking for love—until she meets the slightly older
Isaiah. After one of those rare first dates that last for hours, she knows there’s something different about him. Ayanna has found herself at an intimidating crossroads: one foot is still under her mother’s roof, while the other is primed to step out on her own with Isaiah. After a long awaited return to Sundance, Raashad Ernesto Green makes his feature-length CineFestival debut!
