#CastAnnoucement - Literal Revolution by Nick Bain. Nick Bain an award winning playwright, and producer of the Warner Bros Feature Film The Man Who Knew Infinity comes to HCandF to tell his story about a young white liberal "amateur" protester named Dave, who tries his best to join a protest, but his naiveté places him in a series of awkward, embarrassing, and unwitting situations. A slapstick comedy laced with a serious message. Chicago actress Tiffany Graham will be pla...ying the role of Shanice. Best friends with Deborah and Kamilah. She is the one who keeps the group safe. The type to not mess with. Shooting soon in Chicago #shortfilm #filmfestivals #film #indiefilm #filmmakers #cast #castingwebsite #onset
