Independent motion picture company Gyre Entertainment will begin production of the sports drama, “From the Rough,” starring Academy Award Nominee Taraji P. Henson in New Orleans October 4, 2010.
“From the Rough” is based on the remarkable true story of the first female head coach of an NCAA Division One men’s golf team, Dr. Catana Starks at Tennessee State University. Henson plays the fictional character Cassandra Turner who represents Starks in the film. Turner is a female coach at a historically black college/university (HBCU) who faces an uphill battle as she attempts to establish the school?s first men?s golf team.
“The extraordinary film explores one’s ability to transform life’s rough circumstances into distinct advantages,” said Pierre Bagley. “It confronts issues of race, gender, class, and cultural barriers in ways that are provocative, and sometimes hilarious.”
