Kelley Kali to Direct Feature Film Based on the Life of Criminal Justice Reform Advocate Kemba Smith

New York, NY — Today, MPI Original Films (MPI), in association with BET, announced the casting of Nesta Cooper (Bliss, See) in the lead role of the feature-length film Kemba. Award-winning filmmaker Kelley Kali (I’m Fine (Thanks for Asking), Lalo’s House) will direct the MPI and BET Original Film inspired by the life of criminal justice reform advocate Kemba Smith.

In Kemba, based on Kemba’s life story, a college student falls in love with a man, only to learn he is a drug kingpin who leads her down a path of abuse and manipulation, placing her in the middle of the government’s “war on drugs,” and ultimately landing her in federal prison. The film will focus on themes paramount in today’s national conversations, including institutional racism, racial inequality, and the vital need for criminal justice and prison reform. The film will have its television premiere on BET, with additional launch and distribution plans to be announced at a later date. Principal photography will begin this October in Atlanta.

Starring as Kemba is Nesta Cooper, recently starred in Mike Cahill’s Amazon feature Bliss opposite Owen Wilson and Salma Hayek. She can be seen starring opposite Jason Momoa and Alfre Woodard in Season 3 of the Apple TV+ series See, written and executive produced by Steven Knight and directed by Francis Lawrence.

Director Kelley Kali is an alumna of Howard University and the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts. She was the only woman selected to direct the first creole dramatic TV series in Belize, Noh Matta Wat, for which she won the Paul Robeson Award. She then worked with Ron Howard and Brian Grazer’s New Form to develop the web series The Discovery of Dit Dodson, which competed in top-tier film festivals across the country. Her 2018 film Lalo’s House won the 45th Annual Student Academy Award and was in consideration for the 91st Annual Academy Awards. She also recently wrote, directed, produced, and starred in the original feature film I’m Fine (Thanks for Asking), which was an early pick for the narrative competition at the 2021 SXSW Film Festival. It went on to win Special Jury Recognition for Multi-hyphenate Storyteller (an award they created for her). The film can be seen on BET and BET Her, Amazon, iTunes, and HBO Europe. Kelley is in post-production on her current feature that will later be announced.

Throughout the span of her career, Kelley has been awarded the Directors Guild of America Student Filmmaker Award, the KCET Fine Cut Award, Shadow & Act’s Rising Award, the Programmers’ Award at the Oscar-qualifying Pan African Film Festival, the Jury Award at the Diversity in Cannes Showcase sponsored by Viola Davis and Julius Tennon’s JuVee Productions, and several others in the past few years. Her work has also been featured at the American Black Film Festival with Kelley recognized as one of the top Emerging Directors and at the prestigious Telluride Film Festival. And in 2021, she was selected as a recipient of the Academy Gold Fellowship for Women.

Nesta is represented by UTA, Lauren Levitt & Assoc., Industry Entertainment, and Johnson, Shapiro, Slewett & Kole. Kelley is represented by Greg Pedicin at Gersh, manager Capella Fahoome, and Nina Shaw and Tom Greenberg at Del Shaw Moonves Tanaka Finkelstein Lezcano Bobb & Dang.

From MPI, Stacey Parks, Lana Link, and Rob Pfaltzgraff will produce. MPI’s Nick Reid, Kemba Smith, and BET’s Maureen Guthman and Connie Orlando will executive produce.

BET NAMES BREAKOUT JACKSONVILLE RAPPER NARDO WICKAS ITS ‘BET AMPLIFIED’ ARTIST FOR SEPTEMBER 2022
09/09/22

New York, NY September 13, 2022 – BET names RIAA-certified 2x Platinum Artist and Jacksonville, FL native Nardo Wick as its BET Amplified artist for September 2022. BET Amplified is BET Music’s stamp of approval on the next big thing in music. Following the success of hit single “Who Want Smoke?” Nardo Wick’s popularity has been steady and quick. The new alternative version of this hit track featuring Lil Durk, 21 Savage and G Herbo, debuted at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the video – currently at 138 million views and counting – trended on YouTube for weeks to follow and six months later is still sitting in the top 20 at #15. The release of Who Is Nardo Wick? debuted in the top 20 (#19) on the Billboard 200 chart, making it the fifth largest debut of 2021. From being featured on DJ Khaled’s new album God Did (“It Ain’t Safe ft. Nardo Wick, Kodak Black”) and the ELVIS (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) “Product of the Ghetto” to landing a spot on “Judas And The Black Messiah: The Inspired” album soundtrack, his stardom is undoubtedly on the rise. This September, Nardo Wick can now also add BET Amplified Artist to his list of accolades. As a BET Amplified artist, Nardo Wick will receive BET Music’s support across multiple BET campaigns and platforms, including BET, BET Her, BET Jams, BET Soul, BET.com, BET Socials, and BET’s Official YouTube Page.

About Nardo Wick:

In a little over a year and a half, Nardo Wick exploded onto the rap scene and has begun to make a name for himself. It was just the start of 2021 when Florida upstart Nardo Wick unleashed his menacing track “Who Want Smoke?” onto the world and had it spread like wildfire. It was certified platinum before the album even dropped—quickly jumping to over two million streams on YouTube alone, as artists like Lil Durk, Future, and G Herbo started publicly praising the cut. Nardo has released a slew of successful tracks including “Shhh”, “Pull Up” and “I Be Chillin” and recently “Dah Dah DahDah.” Nardo recently finished his first-ever tour, Who Is Nardo Wick?: The Tour and was inducted into the 2022 XXL Freshman Class. Currently, he is gearing up to hit the road again, this time as a guest on Lil Durk’s The 7220 Deluxe Tour kicking off September 17.

While Nardo is just getting started, he maintains his mission for himself, his music, and his listeners. “Be yourself,” he humbly advises. “That’s really it.” His success story is proof alone to take his advice. “When I first got started, I knew I wanted to blow up,” he adds. “And now I’m here.”

Previous BET Amplified artists include Babyface Ray, Blxst, Coi Leray, Doechii, Kalan.FrFr

Lehla Samia, Masego, Muni Long, Snoh Aalegra, Tems, Young Stunna, and many more!
