In a world caught between ambition and belonging, one couple must navigate love, identity, and legacy in the face of impossible choices. Today, we’re proud to exclusively debut the official trailer for Sincerely Brad, a powerful indie feature from creator and director Isaac Yowman that challenges the boundaries of love and loyalty—both on Earth and beyond.
Set in a politically charged aerospace city, Sincerely Brad follows the journey of Brad and Zoey, a young interracial couple whose bond is tested when the pressures of society, family, and fate begin to close in. Just as Zoey confronts pregnancy in her third trimester, Brad—an elite astronaut—is offered a risky NASA mission that could save humanity. But at what cost?
What unfolds is not just a love story—it’s a layered exploration of race, cultural perception, and the heavy toll of sacrifice, especially in a society where people of color have to work twice as hard as our counterparts for the same opportunities.
Patrick Walker (Gaslit, Lessons in Chemistry, The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey) stars as Brad, delivering a grounded yet emotionally charged performance as a man torn between two futures. Opposite him is Cinthya Carmona (Greenhouse Academy, Pretty Smart), whose portrayal of Zoey carries both tenderness and steel. Carl Anthony Payne II, a household name from iconic roles in Martin and The Cosby Show, brings generational insight and levity, while Veronika Dash offers a sharp counterpoint as an outsider whose gaze reflects the world’s bias back onto the couple.
At its core, Sincerely Brad is a film about choice—and the burden of visibility. What does it mean to be seen, truly, when your love is politicized? When your very existence is placed on a binary—progress or protection, family or the future?
Yowman, whose background in music, culture, and narrative storytelling has earned him a rising reputation in independent film circles, wrote the first draft of the screenplay in 2021. “It’s just as relevant now as when I first wrote it,” he admits. “Especially when you consider all the conversations around race and DEI right now.”
That sense of urgency—and heart—is palpable in the film. The film’s visuals flicker between NASA offices, quiet domestic spaces, and the wide, cinematic skies above. The contrast mirrors the emotional tension of the story: will Brad reach for the stars, or stay rooted in love?
Adding to the film’s impact is its unlikely but powerful partnership with Adidas. The global brand stepped in during a critical stage of production, ensuring the film crossed the finish line. “Adidas is truly family, and I mean that – the Three Stripe family showed up,” Yowman shares. “They continue to support diverse, inclusive storytelling in meaningful ways. To have execs from their Oregon, New York, and L.A. teams flying in to support the premiere—it’s not just business, it’s belief.”
Following a powerful premiere in New York—a city that’s directly referenced in the script—the film made its West Coast debut in Los Angeles, where cast and community gathered for a heartfelt talkback that dug deep into its themes of legacy, cultural identity, and love under pressure. Audiences in both cities walked away not only moved, but eager to continue the conversation—proof that Sincerely Brad is more than a film; it’s a mirror, a message, and a movement.
And now, with the release of its official trailer, Sincerely Brad begins its journey. For those who want to carry the story further, a companion book—surprising to the cast after the LA screening—is now available for purchase, inviting readers to linger with the world Yowman built and explore the characters more intimately.
The journey doesn’t stop there. Sincerely Brad will soon make its way to Houston—director Isaac Yowman’s hometown—for a special hometown screening this August. While the official date is still to be announced, the Houston debut will be a powerful continuation of the film’s community-driven momentum. Stay tuned for more details as the Sincerely Brad story returns to where it all began.
