“A Girl like Grace” TV Premiere Thursday on BET
A movie shot right here on the Coast will be nationally televised this Thursday night.
“A Girl like Grace” will be shown on BET Thursday at 7 p.m. The movie follows a young woman through her struggles in high school. All the school scenes were shot at Gulfport High.
The film not only features stars such as Raven Symone, but local talent as well. Coast rapper Young JoJo has his music featured in the film and tells News 25 the fact that Hollywood is recognizing us locally opens a lot of doors for Coast residents looking to make it big. “We have directors coming from Hollywood and they’re shooting movies in our backyard, but it’s like we have talent too. To be able to make it this far and prove to them that we actually have talent and work ethic, it’s a great deal. Like I said, this is going to bring more energy and more films I believe to the Coast and present more opportunities for people.”
You can catch “A Girl like Grace” Thursday, September 8th at 7 p.m. on BET.
