It is that, but so much more, too. Relationships, friendships, and a longing for family command the spotlight in director Andy Vallentine’s heartwarming feature, which he cowrote with his screenwriter Danny Vallentine. Tapping into those universal themes elevates this emotionally rich tale, one that will not only make audiences laugh and cry on different occasions, but also inspire them to reflect on the bounty of good that exists in their lives, especially during life transitions.

After moving to Belgium from Morocco, they released a few small but acclaimed films (Image, Black, Gangsta) before being tapped by Hollywood as 'the next big thing.' The directorial duo were whisked away into the entrails of the studio system, directing Bad Boys for Life and Ms. Marvel, and were attached to the long-awaited sequel, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley, before moving on. The Adil and Bilall version of Beverly Hills Cop isn't the only thing audiences have missed out on — they also directed an eagerly anticipated DC film, Batgirl, which was subsequently shelved by Warner Bros., never to be seen again. And yet, they've moved on, and are now releasing their most personal and powerful film yet, Rebel.
