Director Statement

Save The Date is the latest film made by Terrell Ujah. Out of all the films he's made so far, this one means the most to him. The reason why this story in particular is so near and dear to him is due to how close it relates to his own personal life. Like the main character Jamal, Terrell found it hard to prioritize and balance many relationships in his life due to his drive to make an impact with the content that he would make. It took Terrell loosing important people in his life over the years to finally wake up and realize the importance of balance. Discovering this flaw for himself helped motivate him to turn it into a story that could possibly help someone else that might unknowingly be doing the same.
