"4 Minutes"- ABFF experience

First off, being accepted to the ABFF was an honor. Out of 600 submissions we were in the top 4. This year's festival was interesting to say the least. They kept the filmmaker's pretty busy. However, I still had time to hit the Miami clubs. If you ever get a chance to hit Fountain Blue's club Liv, trust me it's the hottest club ever! My boy Will Packer shut it down Sunday night.  As far as exposure for the film, both of our screenings were sold out. Robert Townsend sat in the row right behind me. To see him cracking up laughing at scenes in the film was an honor. Sylvan White, director of Stomp the Yard, really enjoyed the film and said it was really funny. Cathie Hughes, founder of Radio One and TV One, enjoyed my performance in 4 Minutes and said that I was a talent she looked forward to working with. The fact that we didn't win was overshadowed by this great humbling experience. To be in a room with Sanaa Lathan, Rockmond Dunbar, and Eric LaSalle, was truly an honor. I felt like they were passing the torch to the next generation of actors and filmmakers. Now is the time to cease the moment and move forward with integrity.
