Work, Love, and Life for Two Women in Philly — Delayed Gratification

Two women. One city. A journey of growth, resilience, and self-discovery

Philadelphia, PA — Breaking Glass Pictures is excited to announce the streaming release of Delayed Gratification, a  drama that follows two young women navigating life in downtown Philadelphia. Along the way, they face tough choices, confront toxic relationships, and grapple with the everyday realities of survival in a world that often seems stacked against them.

Zara and Milan hustle through work, relationships, family drama, and the world, all while dealing with personal struggles like addiction and betrayal. Their journey is raw, real, and unapologetically honest—a story of friendship, survival, and figuring out life on their own terms.

Directed by Todd Inman and co-written by Todd Inman and Lawrence R. Greenberg, the film features standout performances from Naya Somanya, Dominique Janelle, Nastassia Pryce, Fatima Ming, and Brandon J. McLean. With sharp dialogue, humor, and authentic depictions of Philly life, Delayed Gratification captures not just the struggles, but also the small victories, the laughter, the betrayals, and the moments of empowerment that define life in the city.

The film immerses viewers in the messy, unpredictable, and often unforgiving world these women inhabit, highlighting the grit, courage, and determination it takes to carve out your own path in a place that doesn’t make it easy.
