The film follows a "talented but sheltered dance student who finds inspiration, love and family in the last place he expected: the subways of New York City. Wright (“Space Jam: A New Legacy”) is the student caught between worlds, while Reid (“The Last of Us,” “Euphoria”) is the girl who opens his life to new possibilities. Key to the dance movie is Litefeet, a high-energy style that originated in Taylor’s hometown of Harlem."

Production on “Get Lite” is set to begin this month in New York City, ahead of its wide theatrical release on Aug. 20, 2027. Taylor, who recently earned acclaim for her performance in “One Battle After Another,” is directing from a screenplay by Maurice Williams, based on Eric Gross’ spec script, which landed on the 2020 Black List.
