Exclusive: Viola Davis and Julius Tennon’s JuVee Production is teaming with HBO to develop the comedy House of Chow from Ken Cheng, who wrote the pilot and will serve as executive producer alongside Head of TV Development at JuVee Andrew Wang and pilot director Jude Weng. Davis and Tennon also will serve as EPs.
Based on Cheng’s experiences growing up in a restaurant kitchen, House of Chow is a comedy about the reluctant partnership that forms between estranged, thirtysomething siblings Vicky and Charlie Chow. Both realize that the best way to salvage their disappointing and dysfunctional lives is to revive their family’s old Chinese restaurant and turn it into something it’s never been: a success. To do that, all they’ll need to do is exploit the gullible foodies of L.A. into believing they’re something they’ve never been: happy to be there.

On June 17, 2015, a stranger walked into Emanuel Ame church and found a Bible study in progress. They invited him to join them, but instead, Dylann Roof opened fire, killing nine Black parishioners in the process. Written and directed by Brian Ivie, the documentary “Emanuel” revisits that terrible day with the families of those who were taken so soon, so violently.
The film introduces the audience to Nadine as she’s preparing a sweet-potato pie and reminiscing about her mother, who was one of the nine members of the church not to return home that night. Next is Anthony, a pastor whose wife was also killed in the massacre. Chris, a baseball player on the rise, remembers his mother. More faces, more stories roll in, and the enormity of the losses feel bigger and bigger. It wasn’t just the victims and their immediate families who were affected, but their entire community as well.

Mass shootings continue to be a shameful stain on contemporary American history. They strike at such a frequent rate that the way they occupy news cycles before losing the public’s short-spanned attention has become appallingly routine. With his somber documentary “Emanuel,” released by Fathom Events in theaters for two nights only (June 17 and 19), director Brian Ivie (“The Drop Box”) aspires to focus on something rare and enduring that unfolded in the aftermath of one such unspeakable tragedy. It was a collective act of defiance that aimed to heal a wounded community.
That community includes a congregation in Charleston’s historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, who lost nine — all black lives that vastly mattered — to a gun massacre in their holy house of worship exactly four years ago. Executive produced by Viola Davis and Stephen Curry among others, “Emanuel” turns the nation’s eye on the victims’ loved ones,...

"Racism is as American as apple pie. And that's why I don't understand why so many people are shocked." The first official trailer has been unveiled for a powerful documentary titled Emanuel, made by filmmaker Brian Ivie. The doc film profiles the horrible tragedy and aftermath of the shooting at the Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, South Carolina back in 2015, when nine innocent people were murdered by a white supremacist. Producers Viola Davis and Julius Tennon explain why they helped make this: “We, along with the country, grieved each family's loss. Yet, miraculously, from this devastation we witnessed tremendous benchmarks of humanity. The survivors found courage to love in the face of hate." The doc focuses less on the shooter, more on the victims and the neighborhood, showing "how faith, hope and forgiveness healed a community after the church shooting." What a stunning, moving trailer - that song makes all the difference.
