August 2008
Soooo July/August have been relatively good to African Booty Scratcher and I, along with my new baby Say Grace Before Drowning--my thesis film currently in its screenplay stage. Say Grace has been awarded a Spike Lee Grant and a 2008 Princess Grace Graduate Film Scholarship. And because African Booty Scratcher WILL NOT DIE (mwhahahah!) ABS will be screening at this year's Charlotte International Film Festival. Check the myspace for more details. If you still haven't seen African Booty Scratcher (i'll cut your balls off! No just kidding) then check your local HBO listing for upcoming air dates.

my existence
October 2007
1. The American Black Film Festival was quite exciting and fruitful to say the least. Though ABS didn't win, we walked away with a $5,000 consolation prize and an acquisition deal with HBO (maybe?). Black folks are not only making films, they're making good films!
2. The Director's Guild of America has nominated me as an Honorable Mention on the East Coast in the African American category (happy happy joy joy). One WINNER and one HONORABLE MENTION are chosen on each coast so that's not too shabby my friends.
3. The first non niche festival to acknowledge my existence: the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival has also thrown an Honorable Mention my way. Hey, Ill surely take it! Here is the link
