/24-7PressRelease/ - April 26, 2008 - While on the rise in the local Cleveland music scene, Eric meets another struggling young singer by the name of Gerald Levert. They make a pact: "whoever reaches the top first will pull the other up." Several years later when Eric loses everything, he learns the true bonds of brotherhood when Gerald, now an internationally known R&B singer, reaches back to pull him up. Eric is given an opportunity of a lifetime, when Gerald puts him in a position to become a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame trio, The O'Jays. At the same time, Eric pays it forward as he struggles to save his own brother Mitchel from a life of total self destruction. Thus learning that being your brother's keeper is never just a choice, but a chance to make good on life's promises.
Principle photography is slated to begin summer 2008. Della Reese and Clifton Powell have been cast to portray Eric Nolan Grant's grandmother and father and Eddie Levert will make a cameo appearance. Fastlane Pictures is currently in discussions with established actors to portray Eric. In addition, an open casting call will be held for the actor who will portray Gerald Levert in the motion picture.
