‘Higher Love’ tells the poignant story of a devoted husband (Haysbert) whose world is upended when his wife (Hopkins) falls critically ill. As he steps into the role of caregiver, he grapples with heartbreak, loneliness, and the emotional toll of a marriage transformed by illness.

Production is set to begin on August 4, with the film produced by Pierre Romain, A.W. 'Tony' Scott, Julie Solinger, and Jean Qing Su.
The film’s executive producers include Richard D’Angelo, Michael Bassick, Michael Laundon, Kristopher MacNeil, Nicole MacNeil, Kerri Miller, David Millstone, David Rubenstein, Isabella Medina Sarria, Chiz Schultz, and Ben T. Smith IV. Taleo Coles, Anthony Commodore, and Brandon Scott serve as associate producers.
