Jesse Williams Joins 'Selah & the Spades' Cast for Sundance 2019 Premiere

Jesse Williams steps out for the premiere of his new movie Selah and The Spades during the 2019 Sundance Film Festival!

The 37-year-old Grey’s Anatomy star attended the event held at Egyptian Theatre on Sunday (January 27) in Park City, Utah.

He was joined by his co-stars Lovie Simone, Celeste O’Connor, Jharrel Jerome, Gina Torres, Henry Hunter Hall, Francesca Noel, and Ana Mulvoy Ten, as well as director/writer/producer Tayarisha Poe and executive producer Chaz Ebert.

Ava DuVernay was also there to show her support.

Here’s the synopsis for the film: Five factions run the underground life of the prestigious Haldwell boarding school. At the head of the most powerful faction – The Spades – sits Selah Summers. By turns charming and callous, she chooses whom to keep close and whom to cut loose, walking the fine line between being feared and loved.

Issa Rae, Jim Parsons, Jada Pinkett Smith & More Help Kick Off Sundance Film Festival 2018!

Issa Rae and Jada Pinkett Smith strike a pose on the carpet while attending An Artist at the Table Cocktail Reception & Dinner held during the 2018 Sundance Film Festival at DeJoria Center on Thursday (January 18) in Park City, Utah.

The 33-year-old Insecure star and Jada, 46, were joined at the kick off event by Jim Parsons and his husband Todd Spiewak, Chloe Sevigny, Octavia Spencer, Chaz Ebert, Michael Stuhlbarg and Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Jada, Octavia and Michael are among the jury members for the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.

That same day, Issa joined Jason Mantzoukas, Zoe Kazan and Nick Offerman on Delta Air Lines’ fourth annual Delta Festival Shuttle to Park City flying from Los Angeles. It is a total party in the sky, as this influential crowd buzzed about the aircraft networking, sipped cocktails from the open bar, chatted about their Sundance projects and some even won tickets to far flung Delta destinations.
