About Nocturnal Agony

Inspired by a true story, Nocturnal Agony is the tale of two women, "Lois" (Vernee Watson) a renowned evangelist who is excitedly preparing for her retirement and her highly successful, upper middle class daughter, "Patty" (Deidra LaWan Starnes). By all accounts, Patty has it all: a successful career, a loving and supportive husband, a beautiful young daughter, an active church life and a gorgeous home in the suburbs. But something is eerily wrong and it all comes to a head when Patty's seemingly perfect world turns upside down. This traumatic event uncovers years of hidden family secrets (including issues of sexual abuse, and Bi-Polar Disorder) and forces Patty and Lois into a painful examination of their lives, their relationship with each other, and their faith in God.

The "faith-based" drama was shot entirely in the Washington, D.C area and stars veteran Hollywood actors Vernee Watson, Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs, and RaéVen Larrymore Kelly. The film also stars Grammy Award winning gospel recording artist Hezekiah Walker, Helen Hayes award-winning actress Deidra LaWan Starnes, Malachi Malik, Theida Salazar, Caroline G. Pleasant, Annette James, Talen Ruth Riley and gospel recording artist Kevin LeVar in his feature film debut. The film is directed by award-winning writer/director Shuaib Mitchell and will screen at "select" film festivals around the country before its theatrical release in 2013.
