What happens when a mother holds on to her son too long? That's precisely what we learn as this all-star cast unites to tell the story of a young man who takes pride in being macho but really is a momma's boy.
Set in the inner city, Aaron and Autumn join forces as police officers in a town plagued by violence. Autumn is then forced to move into Aaron's home with her sons. Autumn has spoiled and catered to her sons every need which has earned them the title of being momma's boys. This is where Aaron's plight begins to turn these boys to men. In an awkward turn of events, Autumn decided to confront Aaron about his own relationship with his mother. Aaron's mother, who has resided with him for the past 10 years, feels that no woman can take care of her son like she can. She has run away potential prospects in the past and intends to do the same with Autumn.
The big question that remains is how can Aaron turn Autumn's boys into men when he is a "Momma's Boy" himself?
Tickets are on sale now! Show time is at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 4, 2017. Doors are scheduled to open at 7:00 p.m. Ages 2 and up require a ticket for this event.

AN OUTRAGE + SOUL CITY - Tues, Nov 8 @ 7:30pm
a/perture cinema | 311 west fourth st.winston salem nc | tel. 336-722-8148
AN OUTRAGE is a documentary film about lynching in the American South. Filmed on-location at lynching sites in six states and bolstered by the memories and perspectives of descendants, activists, and scholars, this unusual historical documentary educates even as it serves as a hub for action to remember a long-hidden past.
SOUL CITY is a documentary short that tells the story of a group of civil rights activists and city slickers who attempt to build a multiracial utopia in the heart of Klan Country, North Carolina in the 1970s. Their pioneering efforts to jumpstart this black-owned, black-built town run up against tenacious enemies that still face idealists and dreamers today-ingrained racism, public skepticism, and unwillingness on the part of the government to think outside the box to solve social problems. As this group of dreamers try to bring together unlikely allies to support black power and economic development, they are forced to balance their soaring idealism with the hostile reality of the times.
