Trailer for ‘Swan Song’ has two-time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali seeing double

Set in the near future, Swan Song is told through the eyes of Cameron (two time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali, reuniting with Moonlight co-star and Academy Award nominee Naomie Harris), a loving husband and father diagnosed with a terminal illness who is presented with an alternative solution by his doctor (8-time Academy Award nominee Glenn Close) to shield his family from grief. As Cam grapples with whether or not to alter his family’s fate, he learns more about life and love than he ever imagined.

Swan Song is written and directed by Academy Award winner Benjamin Cleary and also stars Awkwafina, Lee Shorten and Adam Beach.

Swan Song will have its world premiere at AFI FEST before its release in theaters and on Apple TV+ on December 17.

He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
