The Cameron AB Show and Me
And then, around the same time, a new friend, dancer/actor Cameron Auble-Branigan, who I interviewed last fall (see below), said he was starting a podcast centered around all aspects of the entertainment industry, but seen through the eyes of those not usually in the spotlight. And asked if I'd be his first guest.Â

29th Annual Philadelphia Film Festival Coverage
Just like I said about Virtual Black Star Film Festival this summer, I really enjoy so much about an online film festival. Yes, I do still miss seeing films as they were intended for the big screen, but these platforms for viewing films as a festival are pretty sweet. With BlackStar, you had to tune in when the film was being shown, or you missed it. But what I love about PFF29, once the film had it’s first showing, then it was just available for the rest of the run of the fest. And I could watch them via my Roku. As usual, there was a wonderful mix of genres…

THE ILLADELPHIA GLOW 5 Questions for Filmmaker: Mister Mann Frisby
I got a chance to screen The Illadelphia Glow (short film). First off, I really appreciate anytime black sci-fi is on the table. Although, this film doesn’t play out with a comicbook or supernatural tone. It’s grounded in reality. It just so happens the lead character, high school teacher Winston Ligon (Aundre Dean) has a special talent, where it’s not so much that he doesn’t know how to control it, but rather he doesn’t know what to do with it. A mysterious guide (Jacinth Headlam) comes into his life, but she’s one of those tough love type of entities that’s not gonna make it easy for a hero. Much of…
