Craig J. Harris Wake Up African American Filmmakers!

African American Filmmakers member Michelle Karman recently wrote, “This site appears to be dead! C'mon, people!!!!” I don’t understand the inactivity on this site. I’m not sure if it’s apathy, or the fact that many of the members here are busy for months at a time and don’t have the time to log on, but whatever it is, it has led me to question why I still have a profile here and has me considering deleting it. I’m not writing this to cast aspersions on the members of this forum, but to express… Continue

Focused Films The red wristband...

While the red wristband has nothing to do with screenwriting, I'm inclined to share its significance with you in my first blog of 2010. Why? Because; it's my blog. So you're probably wondering, what is the significance of the red wristband versus another color? You'd know if you've been to a taping of The Mo'Nique Show in the Player Penthouse (http://bet.com/OnTV/BETShows/monique/default.htm). Let me explain. T… Continue

Adrienne Grant A Productive Year in Black Filmmaking

Happy New Year to all. Be safe. May this year be the most productive year for African American Filmmaking to all. Whether it be a pre production setup, I claim a productive one for you. Whether it's a production project, I claim a productive one for you. Or if it's a post production, I claim a productive one for you. Let's bring BLACK back to the movie and television scenes. Peace Continue

Focused Films Forethought...

Notice, as it is with every New Year, how the not so poetic express their not-so-creative cliché that rhyme with the year approaching? For the coming year, the corresponding terminal sound is "ten" for twenty-ten. And sure, I plan to win in twenty-ten. If I have to, I'll begin again. What I'm most interested in is encouragement from family and friends. I'll take a pat on the back from a stranger blowing in the wind. Have sore cheeks from a big fat grin. STOP!! I know, see how corny that is?… Continue
