Vincent Victoria Presents (VVP), the award-winning nonprofit theater company renowned for its vibrant portrayals of African Diaspora history, is set to ignite the screen with its latest cinematic venture, Eight Notes to Heaven. This electrifying fictional satire based on real events reconstructs the 1980s’ most infamous musical rivalry—Rick James vs. Prince—for the first time in film. Bryce Ivan stars as Punk Funk pioneer Rick James, opposite Taylor Getwood’s magnetic portrayal of Prince.
