PRESENTS BURNING SANDS

from director/co-writer Gerard McMurray starring Trevor Jackson (ABC's American Crime), Alfre Woodard (Netflix's Luke Cage), Steve Harris (ABC's The Practice), Tosin Cole and DeRon Horton.

Burning Sands takes you on a raw, voyeuristic journey of fraternity pledging through the eyes of one favored pledgee, who is torn between honoring a code of silence or standing up against the intensifying violence of underground hazing. Led by a breakthrough performance by Trevor Jackson, director Gerard McMurray's feature directorial debut brings an emotional honesty to the classic tale of "rites of passage" and the complicated bonds of brotherhood.

Burning Sands, which also stars Alfre Woodard, Steve Harris, Tosin Cole, DeRon Horton and Moonlight's Trevante Rhodes, was written by Christine Berg & Gerard McMurray and produced by Stephanie Allain, Jason Michael Berman, Reginald Hudlin and Mel Jones. Executive produced by Caroline Connor.
