“Akilla’s Escape” – The Poster and Trailer are Here!

The poster for Akilla’s Escape doesn’t work for me.  I think I know what they were going for, but it just looks to busy for my taste.  The trailer, on the other hand, has me wanting to see more.  Deal me in for Akilla’s Escape.

Akilla Brown is forty-years-old and for the first time in his life, the clandestine cannabis grow operation he runs is legit. Only one year into government approved legalization, the pendulum of hypocrisy takes a toll and Akilla decides to cash out. While making a routine delivery on a cool, summer night, destiny takes an unexpected turn when Akilla confronts a firestorm of masked youths in an armed robbery. In the aftermath of the heist, Akilla captures one of the thieves, a mute fifteen-year-old boy named Sheppard. Upon learning the bandits are affiliated with the Garrison Army, a Jamaican crime syndicate his grandfather founded, Akilla is forced to reckon with a cycle of violence he thought he escaped.
