Sleight, a new movie about talented high school student, a budding magician who skips college to take care of his little sister, has just released a trailer. The movie initially premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival back in January. Sleight was directed by J.D. Dillard. It was written by Alex Theurer and J.D. Dillard. The film stars Jacob Latimore, Storm Reid, Dulé Hill, Seychelle Gabriel, Sasheer Zamata, Michael Villar, and others. The official synopsis for Sleight reads:
"When Bo, a handsome and gifted high school student, suddenly becomes the sole caretaker for his little sister, Tina, he foregoes college to dedicate his talents to the craft of magic. He wows audiences as a street magician but still has to make ends meet, so he cleverly uses his skills to peddle drugs for the local dealer, Angelo. However when Bo falls for Holly, an adorable teenager in need of support, he decides to get out of the drug business, causing Angelo to threaten his family. Bo must now rely on his sleight of hand and brilliant mind to save the day."
Sleight will be hitting theaters on April 7th, 2017. Watch a short trailer for the film via YouTube below.
