First Sunday

In “First Sunday,” a heartfelt comedy that explores the complexities of faith, family, and redemption, we follow the misadventures of two childhood friends, Darius and Sammy, who are trying to turn their lives around after a series of misguided choices. Darius, played by a charismatic new talent, juggles his role as a devoted father while struggling to maintain his job at a local auto repair shop. Sammy, his impulsive and reckless counterpart, is fresh out of prison and desperately seeking a way to prove he’s changed.

As the first Sunday of the new year approaches, the duo concocts a plan to raise money for their struggling community church in hopes of getting back on the right track. What starts as a simple idea to host a charity car wash quickly spirals out of control when they realize they have a far bigger mission on their hands: they need to replace the church’s aging sound system before the highly anticipated Sunday service. Unbeknownst to them, their desperate attempts to fundraise will lead them into a whirlwind of hilarious escapades filled with mishaps, colorful characters, and unexpected revelations.

Their journey introduces them to an eclectic cast of friends and foes: Marissa, the church’s ambitious pastor who’s wrestling with her own crisis of faith; Mr. Jacobs, the stern but wise church elder who sees potential in the pair; and Tasha, Darius’s skeptical ex-girlfriend, who becomes an unlikely ally as they navigate their chaotic plan. As tensions rise and conflicts deepen, Darius and Sammy must confront their past mistakes and learn the true meaning of community and forgiveness.

With vibrant cinematography showcasing the heart of their neighborhood, “First Sunday” blends humor and drama, all while exploring themes of friendship, redemption, and the enduring power of faith. As the day of reckoning arrives, Darius and Sammy discover that sometimes the path to transformation isn’t about the destination, but the journey and the people who walk alongside you. This feel-good film will resonate with anyone who has ever faced adversity and highlights the beauty of second chances in an ever-changing world.
