Qasim Basir’s follow-up to his critically-acclaimed feature film directorial debut “Mooz-Lum,” is set to make its world premiere at the upcoming Los Angeles Film Festival which runs from June 1 to 9, 2016.

“Destined” tells the parallel stories of Sheed and Rasheed, portrayed by the same actor (Cory Hardrict), as they explore the idea of destiny as well as how the smallest incident can manifest itself into a life changing event. The film presents two possible outcomes, involving everything from street violence to corporate corruption. Cory Hardrict delivers what’s being called a breakout performance, navigating his role in each world, demonstrating that on any path, the future is mutable and journey toward fulfilling your destiny is never simple.
