JUST LIKE DAD — a Purple 8 Productions film — explores the powerful bond between a father and son shaped by love, loyalty, and the shadow of crime. Torn between following in his father’s footsteps or forging his own path, Kimani’s story captures the emotional struggle of identity and influence. Featuring outstanding performances from Tosin Olomowewe, Camile Reid, Ebrahim Joof, Omar Cham, Stephen Banks, Natalie Amma, Peter L. Pinock, and Chavadne Wray-Richardson, this raw and thought-provoking drama questions whether we are destined to repeat the past — or strong enough to break free from it.
Directed by David Marks, written by Chalice Richardson, and produced by Purple 8 Productions, with cinematography by Chris Small, Just Like Dad delivers an unforgettable look at the legacy of choices that shape us.
