CHOSEN

Janice Montgomery thought the hardest part of her life was losing her husband.

She was wrong.

Decades after reconnecting with her first love, she finds him dead on her couch — and his family standing at her front door. What follows is one impossible morning where no one is the villain and no one is the victim: just people in the same living room, each living their own truth, each holding a different version of a story one man never fully told.

Chosen is a dark comedy about old love, impossible timing, desire, and the unexpected ways life asks us to begin again. Its comedy is grounded, not slapstick — the absurdity of real life arriving all at once, and the grace it takes to survive it. By centering an older Black woman as romantic, flawed, funny, and still becoming, the film challenges limiting portrayals of aging — and reminds us that reinvention has no expiration date.

"After losing her husband, Janice Montgomery rekindles a first love only to find him dead on her couch — and his family at the door."
