With great pleasure and appreciation I like to announce that Suzette Azariah Gunn has agreed to play the role of “Cassidy”, girlfriend of lead character “Monk One” in my film SPIT. I have been waiting to work with Suzette for some time , this maverick of a sister brings deep rooted power to her performances and frankly when I wrote this role she was the first who came to my mind. The role of Cassidy requires someone with a big heart, strong persona but a caring gentleness all in one, so this felt like a natural fit, frankly I had to have her. Can’t wait to get to work with her on this! – Mtume Gant Check the Campaign
