I am PROUD TO ANNOUNCE that I have officially made the trades!

Those of us working in television & film read these prestigious magazines everyday and I finally made it.

Please come out and enjoy the Oscar Micheaux Film Festival in Los Angeles. If you're not in town, you can watch the film I directed on Apple TV & ROKU during the fest!

This time last year, I remember repeating "this is not my life" when my time on the bench got super tough. It is just kismet that 'the festival’s theme will be Champions, a celebration of “the resilience and determination of filmmakers who overcome countless obstacles to bring their visions to life.”
