Regina Hall heats up movie screens in ‘Master.’

Arriving as the debut offering from director-writer Mariama Diallo, the film relays the layered narrative of three women striving to find their place at a prestigious New England university; an institution whose rigid elitism is hiding something much darker beneath its shiny veneer.

Hall leads as Professor Gail Bishop, who has become the first Black woman to be promoted to the position of ‘Master’ of a residence hall.

Determined to affect positive change, a series of events sees Gail confronted with the shocking prospect of the school possibly being haunted in a way few could ever have foreseen.

A hit at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, ‘Master’ – which also stars Zoe Renee and Amber Gray, arrives on Amazon‘s Prime Video on March 18.
