Regina Hall, Zoe Renee, and Amber Gray Set To Star In Master

Amazon Studios is currently in production on Master. Written and directed by Mariama Diallo, Regina Hall will star and executive produce the heightened thriller, with Zoe Renee and Amber Gray rounding out the cast.

The film follows three black women who strive to find their place at the celebrated Ancaster College, an elite university in New England. The school was built on the site of a Salem-era gallows hill and the ghostly legacies of Puritan-era persecution haunt the campus in increasingly supernatural fashion. Master examines how each of these women will — or won’t — survive in this space of privilege.

Andrea Roa, Brad Becker-Parton and Joshua Astrachan will produce out of their Brooklyn based film, television and audio company, Animal Kingdom. Terence Nance will executive produce.

“From the moment we read Master and met Mariama we knew we needed to be part of bringing this spine-chilling story to life – and we couldn’t be more excited about our incredible cast and executive producer Regina Hall, as well as, Zoe Renee and Amber Gray,” said Julie Rapaport, Co-Head of Movies at Amazon Studios. “We’re confident our global Prime Video audiences will also gravitate towards this timely, haunting thriller.”

“I’m so honored and excited to bring Master to life alongside my brilliant collaborators in the film’s producing team, cast and crew,” says Diallo.“Having the support of Amazon Studios, who rallied behind the film from the very beginning, has been so incredibly valuable every step of the way. I can’t wait for this unique and horrific vision to reach our screens.”

Diallo is the writer and director of the Sundance Jury-Prize winning short film Hair Wolf, a horror-comedy about a staff of a black hair salon who must fend off white women intent on sucking the lifeblood from black culture. Diallo also wrote and directed episodes of HBO’s Peabody Award-winning series Random Acts of Flyness.
