FILM FESTIVAL

Hi, everyone! I wanted to share some good news my film was selected to play at the Caribbean Tales International Film Festival in September. Also, I was fortunate enough to meet Director John Singleton at the 25th Anniversary of his debut "Boyz N the Hood," which made him the youngest (20 yrs.) director to ever receive an Oscar nomination. It was really inspiring to talk with him a bit and hear about the importance of recognizing one's culture and finding an artistic truth to your work. Peace!- Abdul http://www.caribbeantales.ca/CTFF/
