As we previously revealed back in October, T-Boz will be playing the role of Cheryl in the film. ‘After Masks’ is a 5-part anthology film, each addressing a different theme, and are seamlessly woven together with interstitial artistic commentary by Narrator, Mitchell Hoog (Saved by The Bell 2020).

T-Boz will star in the chapter, ‘Hold On‘, with a Black Lives Matter theme, directed by Tayo Amos. Synopsis: A spirited black woman’s personal and professional relationships are strained when she confronts the trauma of racist police brutality.

Other stories in the movie include:

The film will even feature one of TLC’s greatest tracks from recent years, the thought-provoking “American Gold“, lifted from their last album in 2017, which will serve as the perfect soundtrack to ‘After Masks’.

Despite the movie being filmed by the actors themselves during the stay-at-home order due to the global Covid-19 pandemic, this is not a recorded Zoom call. Co-Executive producer Andrew Burrill hopes that viewers enjoy the movie like a time capsule of the current times.

“We approached ‘After Masks’ with the utmost respect and aimed to create an authentic, living time capsule that reflects a multigenerational and diverse perspective of Covid-19″, he told PR Newswire. “I hope audiences find a moment of truth within After Masks and that our film inspires and provides an opportunity for others to reflect and ultimately follow hope above all else.”

‘After Masks’ will be available on major streaming and cable platforms in the US on May 18 including: iTunes, Microsoft Xbox, Amazon Instant, Google Play, Vudu, Vimeo, Hoopla, and across hundreds of cable providers including Comcast, Spectrum, Charter, Cox, Dish, DirecTV and more.

Canadian cable providers include Rogers and Shaw. The DVD will be available at online retailers including Amazon on June 8.

T-Boz Set To Return To Acting In Upcoming Movies ‘After Masks’ and ‘Things Like This’

There is nothing that the multi-platinum, Grammy award winning, singer/songwriter, Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, can’t do. In addition to her long-term career as a member of TLC, the actress, producer, choreographer, mentor, entrepreneur, charity spokeswoman and mother is ready to add some more credentials to her acting resumé.

Fresh from her reoccurring role as Sheila Watkins in the hit daytime television soap ‘Days Of Our Lives‘ last year, Tionne will star in ‘After Masks‘, a 5-part anthology film written and directed by the actors themselves while under the stay at home order.

The stories will focus on many of the relatable issues we are all dealing with while on quarantine during the Covid-19 pandemic such as isolation, uncertainty, fear, substance abuse, and self-discovery. The segments, while standalone, will take place during the same time period, and share the same through-line.

Tionne will play the role of Cheryl in the film, and as filming is complete it can be expected to be released very soon, so stay tuned for more details. Other stars in the film include Mitchell Hoog (‘Saved By The Bell Reboot’), Debra Wilson (‘MadTV’), Eric Roberts (‘The Dark Knight’) and Robert Picardo (‘Star Trek: Voyager’).

The film will even feature one of TLC’s greatest tracks from recent years, the thought-provoking “American Gold“, lifted from their last album in 2017, which completely deserved to be a single, so it’s great that it will finally get some more attention, as it is the perfect soundtrack that serves as a reflection of these current times that we’re living in.

In addition to ‘After Masks’, Tionne will also be starring in the movie ‘Things Like This‘, a modern-day romantic comedy, written and directed by ‘Orange Is The New Black’ actor Max Talisman. The plot centers around two young gay men with the same name living in NYC that fall in love and it appears that the universe has brought them together.

Deadline states that other cast members include Eric Roberts, Michael D. Cohen (‘Henry Danger’), Jasmin Savoy Brown (‘For the People’) Charlie Tahan (‘Ozark’), Dyan Cannon (‘Kangaroo Jack’), Santwon McCray (MTV’s ‘Wild n’ Out’), Krista Allen (‘Significant Mother’), Miles Tagtmeyer (‘Broken’), and Jake Reiner, grandson of the late Carl Reiner.
