The cast includes Salli Richardson Whitfield (“I Am Legend”), Nicole Ari Parker (TV’s “Soul Food”), Keith David, Michael Beach, Michael B. Jordan, Tisha Campbell-Martin, Tasha Smith, Dondre T. Whitfield and Ernie Hudson. Making cameos in the film are recording stars Monica, Angie Stone and India.Arie and retired NBA player Charles Oakley.

Filming began in mid-April and is expected to continue through May 7.

Dear Rockmond,

Welcome to Atlanta! I am Salli Richardson Whitfield’s cousin, the granddaughter of Mallie Gordon Houston, and the great granddaughter of Isaac Gordon. I have not seen Salli since our Mississippi and Chicago reunions about 20 years ago. I live in Atlanta; and have been a member of Beulah Baptist Church for over 10 years. I would love the opportunity to be an extra in Pastor Brown; and to host a little brunch at my home before you guys finish filming. Salli has lots of family here, and like her cousin Kelly whom you have probably already met, we are willing to help out in any way that we can to make this endeavor a tremendous success. The Gordon’s are a proud people, and we are especially proud of Salli for all of her achievements. My contact information can be found in the Registration page in your @gmail.com account or in the Beulah Baptist website account for Rev. Brown.

Take Care, and Best Wishes!

Christine Russell and Family
