She
Taught Love
SHE TAUGHT LOVE is a contemporary love story starring Queen Charlotte’s Arsema Thomas, alongside Darrell Britt-Gibson who co-stars and penned the original screenplay. The film will premiere in select theaters and on Hulu on September 27th.
Ever since getting off "The Street," a prestigious cable television series, Frank Cooper (Britt-Gibson) has been coasting through life distracting himself with women, booze and blow, while auditioning to play stereotypical gang members and drug dealers. But the minute he meets Mali Waters (Thomas), a sports agent living for the present, his whole world changes. Despite their own worst instincts, Mali and Frank are inescapably drawn to one another. As Mali is forced to face her own mortality, the clock begins to tick. The two must learn to rely on each other, choosing to love and live for the moment, even if that's all they get.

When questioned about how she got involved with this project, Arsema Thomas responds, “Right now its like before She Taught Love and after She Taught Love because now everything has been so different after receiving the script. I was unemployed, feeling that the industry had turned its back on me, the moment that it didn’t let me in. It had been the depths of the strike, and so I got the script and realized that; I don’t know,, something there is this beautiful, I think its a Jean Jordan quote about ‘staying sane until people create the space for you to be happy’. And I think that’s what I was waiting for when I got that script. It was just keeping it together until something that really was about furthering the narrative of Black women. Something that was about putting us on a pedestal rather than using us as a scapegoat. Until something like that came.”

Darrell Britt-Gibson not only was the lead actor, but he also wrote the script as well. When quizzed about how it ended, he laughs and tells a quick story about how his mother read the script and didn’t like how it ended being a special circumstance plot. He pondered on it and ended up agreeing with her and changed the ending for a better feel. The film is a rare look at a positive Black love relationship minus many of the goofy ghetto stereo types.
