Ahead of its upcoming premiere at the American Black Film Festival (ABFF), the trailer for 93 ’Til has officially been released, offering a first look at a neo-soul–infused romantic drama about presence, art, and emotional connection.
Marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Alterik Miller, 93 ’Til stars Petey McGee and Sophia Lucia Parola as two young creatives whose paths unexpectedly cross over the course of a single day in Philadelphia.
Set against the textured backdrop of the city, the film follows Rahmell (McGee), a struggling artist searching for direction, and Yannie (Parola), a vintage clothing curator navigating inherited dreams and personal expectations. As the two spend time together, what begins as a chance encounter slowly transforms into something more intimate—rooted not in spectacle, but in conversation, stillness, and presence.
In a culture defined by distraction, 93 ’Til leans into the rare act of slowing down—allowing its characters to simply be with each other as music, memory, and art guide their journey through the city.
The film also features LaRoyce Hawkins, Taryn Delanie Smith, Kris D. Lofton, Keith Arthur Bolden, and Jason Louder, alongside Philadelphia-based talent including Skeet Carter.
Written and directed by Miller, 93 ’Til is produced by LaRoyce Hawkins, Richard Noel, Petey McGee, and Samuel C. Morrison Jr. under Deck of Cards Entertainment and Momentum Film Works.
Following Miller’s festival run with his short film Laundry, 93 ’Til continues his exploration of emotionally grounded storytelling—centered on connection, stillness, and the question of whether love can survive in a world that rarely pauses long enough to notice it.
