Master Trailer: Regina Hall Finds The Darkest Depths Of Higher Learning
By Anya Stanley/March 2, 2022 4:07 pm EST
Written by Diallo, “Master” surrounds a trio of women navigating elitism at fancy New England institution Ancaster College, which might be hiding something darker. The film stars the incredibly versatile Regina Hall (“Girls Trip”), who will be co-hosting the 94th Academy Awards ceremony with Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes later this month. But before the awards get handed out, watch the trailer for “Master” below.
“This school is unwilling to see itself for what it truly is.”
The subject matter is relevant to Diallo, the writer and director of the Sundance-winning short film “Hair Wolf,” which concerns the staff of a black hair salon fending off culture-siphoning white women. Diallo has also directed episodes of HBO’s abstract comedy sketch series “Random Acts of Flyness,” which a Variety review observed, “Wants to make its (white) audience feel what it means to be black in America.”
Hall also executive produces the film, alongside Andrea Roa, Brad Becker-Parton and Josh Astrachan through their Animal Kingdom label.
“Master” arrives on Prime Video on March 18, 2022.
Three women strive to find their place at an elite Northeastern university as old as the country. When anonymous racist attacks target a Black freshman — who insists she is being haunted by ghosts of the school’s past — each woman must determine where the real menace lies.
