I made reference to this a little while ago and now can officially announce it: I received an invitation to be part of a Q&A for my film this upcoming weekend, and here are the details.

It’s known as the Reel Black Men Film Festival and its run by my friends at the Black Hollywood Education & Resource Center.  “Lady in My Life” will be screening with 11 other short films made by black men in the past year.  If you’re a regular reader of this site, I’ll presume you’ve seen the film at this point, but if you’re in the L.A. area and would like to ask any questions of me directly (or just see other brothas who have done good work) this is a great opportunity to do so.  Normally I would promise to turn my personality up to 11, but since I’m still in the midst of my religious fast I imagine I’ll be stuck in my ‘speak when I’m spoken to’ mode Saturday night. 

Full details about the event can be found here:

As far as ‘Lady’ goes, I’d like to tell you this will be the last public screening, but the film has gotten another invitation in the past couple weeks so I can’t say that just yet.  I can’t really put into words what it means to me that this short still has ‘legs’ (i.e. it’s still drawing interest).  I can say that for me and everyone who worked on the film, it means a lot, so thanks again to everyone who either worked on it, told friends about it, or in some other way have kept demand up for the film to be seen.

And on that note, I may see you Saturday night.
