In the city of Compton, everybody has a secret… but every secret has its price.
A Night in Compton is a comedy film directed by Daven Baptiste. The story revolves around Zion, a college student who returns home for Christmas break with the goal of spending a romantic night with Lanise Bell, a girl from his high school who has recently transformed her appearance by losing 75 pounds at a fat camp. Despite her reputation for being experienced, Lanise is actually a virgin and tries to avoid Zion’s advances throughout the night. The film explores the dynamics of friendships and relationships in a humorous way, reminiscent of movies like Friday and The Breakfast Club.
