Director’s Statement
Love Will Save the Day is a romantic dramedy that tackles the unspoken with humor, heart, and urgency. Seven years ago, I created 90 DAYS, a short film that aimed to educate the Black community about HIV/AIDS while breaking down the stigma surrounding it. That journey was extraordinary—screening at over 30 top festivals worldwide, partnering with major organizations, and earning accolades, including the African Movie Academy Award and a clean sweep at the Diversity in Cannes Short Film Showcase.
But every audience asked the same question: What happens next?
Love Will Save the Day is the answer. While 90 DAYS was a complete thought, the story it told opened the door to an even bigger conversation. Since 90 DAYS premiered at the 2017 NAACP Image Awards, the world of HIV/AIDS has changed dramatically. Groundbreaking advancements like U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable) have redefined what it means to live with HIV, offering hope and freedom to millions. Yet, much remains the same—Black and Brown communities are still disproportionately impacted, stigma persists, and education is still desperately lacking.
This film is more than a love story between Loréal and Jaxon, two political opponents clashing in the high-stakes world of Chicago politics. It’s a bold, funny, and poignant exploration of love, power, and breaking barriers. Through laughter and connection, Love Will Save the Day seeks to educate, inspire, and ultimately, save lives.
With humor as its weapon and heart as its guide, this film is a call to action—and a reminder that even the toughest battles can be won with love. It’s time for
Love Will Save the Day.
"I think Love Will Save the Day is exactly what we need to continue the message [around HIV, love and stigma] and continue this work."
