An Editor, Producer, and Director walk into BAM

This joint is Jumping

What a lively crowd last night at BAM. We had actors, soap boxes, and debates. I'm all for discussion and that's what we got at our Brooklyn premiere of The Tested.

You know it's a great screening when the festival organizers have to kick you out of the theater because they have to prep for the next one.

It was so nice to have Aunjanue, Michael, and Tobias there and a bunch of the crew.

Great Response at Our Image Film & Arts Fest

A quote from OUR IMAGE FILM & ARTS FESTIVAL

An audience favorite!! The audience actually held an hour long discussion of the film after the screening. They loved the "complexity of the characters; the accurate portrayal of how a life of deep poverty & injustice can lead to extremely difficult choices; the powerful writing, directing, and performances....." They also all agreed that although difficult to watch, this is story that needed to be told.

HOUSTON THEN DENVER

The Tested screens in Houston next week than off to Denver where the film and the director Russell Costanzo is compared to Sidney Lumet and Spike Lee.

The Adepero Connection

We just found out a great short called MEN IN LOVE will be playing before our film at the ROXBURY INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL we haven't met the director yet but we're already connected through the wonderful and talented Adepero Oduye (Pariah) who stars in his short and was in our original short of The Tested. Gotta love the independent film world. To learn more about the short, please visit the MEN IN LOVE WEBSITE and see us both at the festival at the end of the month.
