Genius Studios Sets First Feature Film Four Runners, Written & Directed by Jhalen Daniels

Genius Studios is officially in production mode with its first original feature film, Four Runners, written and directed by the studio’s founder, Jhalen Daniels.

Logline: During a nationally televised event, four powerful figures find themselves caught in an unexpected reckoning. As pressure mounts and time unravels, the line between image and truth begins to blur — and no one is certain who’s in control.

Filming begins this summer in Atlanta, marking a bold first chapter for Genius Studios as it continues to deliver culturally resonant, high-stakes storytelling for today’s audience.

“This story is powerful, timely, and full of surprises,” says Jhalen Daniels. “I know our audience is going to love it — we’re anticipating real impact with this one. And let’s just say... the plot twist is going to leave people absolutely shook.”
