About The Calling
Tamar has been called to become a minister, and for most, this would be an honorable moment, but for Tamar, it is the worst thing that could happen. Tamar is the daughter of prominent Deacon Jessup, and is a lesbian. Taught that her desires are not that of God, Tamar has suppressed them for the last 16 years and has never dated a woman. When the Future Minister's Ministry opens for a new class, Tamar finds herself falling for the only other woman in the class.
Directed by B. Danielle Watkins, The Calling leans on a strong ensemble — Onyx Keesha, Doreen James, George S. Lima — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2023.
