Renée Elise Goldsberry, Lynn Whitfield Reunite on Tense Road Trip in ‘Albany Road’ Trailer (Exclusive)

As a fan who has been captivated by the raw and powerful performances of Renée Elise Goldsberry and Lynn Whitfield throughout their illustrious careers, I eagerly anticipate their collaboration in the upcoming drama feature, “Albany Road.” The trailer alone promises an emotional rollercoaster ride that delves into family dynamics, personal growth, and the courage to confront our deepest fears.


In the trailer for the dramatic movie “Albany Road,” Renee Elise Goldsberry and Lynn Whitfield find themselves compelled to set aside their disagreements as they embark on a crucial journey together.

The movie by writer-director Christine Swanson will premiere at selected AMC Theatres and Malco Theatres on November 15. These cinema chains are responsible for distribution. Entitled Albany Road, the story revolves around Celeste (Goldsberry), who is arranging for an important work journey, but finds herself sharing a car with her ex-fiancé’s mother, Paula (Whitfield). As the plot unfolds, Celeste discovers that Paula has been hiding something significant. The film delves into complex family relationships and the transformative impact of personal development.

In various situations, we encounter our deepest fears or strongest desires, and occasionally, victory is yours – other times, defeat may be unavoidable,” Whitfield implies in the preview.

Later, while seated in the car next to Whitfield, Goldsberry exclaims, “I hate being powerless!”

Movie produced and directed by Swanson originated from Faith Filmworks. The production team includes Brett Hays, Kevin McGrail, Sarah Sharp, and Michael Swanson as producers. The main cast members are J. Alphonse Nicholson, Lisa Arrindell, and Gary Dourdan.

Leon Lacey wrote the music for “Albany Road,” with input from Grace Gibson and Donald Lawrence.

Previously, Swanson had been at the helm of Lifetime’s movie “The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel”, as well as several episodes from “Bel-Air”, “Found”, and “All American”.

On the comedy show “Girls5eva”, you’ll find the talented actress who shone brightly, and off-screen, she garnered both a Tony and a Grammy for her portrayal of Angelica Schuyler, Alexander Hamilton’s sister-in-law, in the production of “Hamilton”.

Lately, Whitfield has been involved in projects such as the films “Vacation Friends” and “The Retirement Plan”, and a leading role on the TV show “Greenleaf”. She won an Emmy for her work in HBO’s 1991 movie “The Josephine Baker Story”.
