REEL TALK

Ok so,shouts first to the lovely Miss Brady who came from Hollywood to do PR on D.C's first quality feature film, "Jazz in the Diamond District". This invite only screening brought out all the usual suspects. Mister Chucky Thompson, who scored the film was in the building,along with LikeBlood Ent., which is an up and coming rap group from the city. Other guest ranged from UCB's Tre to Mr. Kong of SexyDC mag/tv. I truely wish i was able to have helped Miss Brandy get more press there,but as we know,D.C folks are hard to impress.Anyway,once inside the talented Lindsey Christian,who directed and produced the film thanked everyone for coming. She also informed us that the film will be going to a variety of film festivals very soon. Clifton Powell,one of the stars of the film and D.C native,got on the mic and called this event "Black Dollars in the makin' !". He was very pleased to be at the screening and supports the film 110%. Over all the film was pretty good. To have been set and filmed around The Chocolate City, by D.C folks,this film was damn good,and was excellent quality! You wont see a movie come out of this area with cinematagrophy as great as this film no time soon! Story wise,I hope those outside the Beltway can appreciate the lingo and the vibe of the movie. Regardless,everyone should walk away from this film loving something. Though it also stars Wood Harris of "The Wire",this was not a Go-GO, gangsta flick, i repeat,NOT A BUM ASS GANGSTA FLICK! I wont give to much away,but i will give big respect to the real life sisters that own SoBLu Productions and released this film. Check out more for yourself at the site. Their under "Friends of Ours" so you can link to them asap!
