Production is officially underway on 93 ’Til, a new romantic drama marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Alterik Miller. The film stars Petey McGee and Sophia Lucia Parola in a story that leans into intimacy, presence, and the quiet magic of human connection.
Set over the course of a single day in Philadelphia, 93 ’Til follows Rahmell (McGee), a struggling artist searching for direction, and Yannie (Parola), a vintage clothing curator carrying the weight of inherited dreams. As the two move through the city together—guided by music, art, and memory—the film unfolds as a meditation on slowing down in a culture that rarely allows it. Their connection grows not through spectacle, but through conversation, stillness, and the rare choice to be fully present with one another.
The cast also includes LaRoyce Hawkins, Taryn Delanie Smith, Kris D. Lofton, and Keith Arthur Bolden, alongside Philadelphia-based talent Skeet Carter.
Written and directed by Miller, 93 ’Til is currently filming on location throughout the Greater Philadelphia area. The project is produced by Hawkins, with Momentum Film Works producers Richard Noel and McGee, alongside Miller and Samuel C. Morrison Jr. for Deck of Cards Entertainment.
Following the festival run of Miller’s short film Laundry, 93 ’Til positions the filmmaker as a director interested less in grand gestures and more in emotional truth—asking whether love can survive in a world that rarely stays still long enough to notice it.
