Regina Hall Heading To College For Supernatural Thriller ‘Master’

Production has begun on writer Mariama Diallo‘s feature directorial debut, the “haunting thriller” Master. Starring Regina Hall (Girls Trip, Shaft), Zoe Renee (“Black Lightning,” Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase), and Amber Gray (“Escape at Dannemora”), the film is from Amazon Studios, Deadline reports. The film centers on “three black women who strive to find their place at the celebrated Ancaster College, an elite university in New England. The school was built on the site of a Salem-era gallows hill and the ghostly legacies of Puritan-era persecution haunt the campus in an increasingly supernatural fashion. The plot examines how each of these women will — or won’t — survive in this space of privilege.” From the moment we read Master and met Mariama we knew we needed to be part of bringing this spine-chilling story to life – and we couldn’t be more excited about our incredible cast and executive producer Regina Hall, as well as, Zoe Renee and Amber
