Hi Pals. If you liked MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. If you liked THE DOOR. If you liked I WILL FOLLOW. If you liked MY MIC SOUNDS NICE. If you dig any of the films I make, please help me distribute more by voting for me. Feels weird to ask, but I have to. If it goes my way, I’ll give 100% of the winnings to African-American Film Festival Releasing Movement (AFFRM) to continue our work distributing black film. We really need the financial boost. Thanks for considering. And happy weekend!
