The countdown is over. Tomorrow, June 10, 2025, Franklin will premiere globally on digital platforms—bringing to audiences a bold and emotionally raw exploration of love, loss, and LGBTQ identity.
From directors Dr. Donta Morrison and Anthony Bawn, Franklin follows the story of a gay adult entertainer, Franklin Scott (Eric Russell), whose journey toward Hollywood stardom collides with the complex realities of family, trauma, and self-discovery.
Critics are already calling Franklin “fearless,” “moving,” and “unafraid to confront the truths many avoid.” With a team of Black LGBTQ creators behind the camera and in front of it, Franklin is more than a film—it’s a statement.
