OutKast's Andre Benjamin is set to star in an untitled feature for Element Films set to start filming in September in New Orleans. The film is said to be set in the mid-1970s, and follows the story of an upper-middle-class musical prodigy named Valentine (Benjamin) and a lower-class free-spirited woman named Chevon, whose families are opposed to their interracial relationship. Problems arise when an accidental shooting caused by Chevon's police officer brother is blamed on Valentine.
