Due to unpacking and getting situated in my new home, I apologize that I did not get to promote a film that I’m in called “The McHenry Trial: Don’t Judge a Kid by Their Hoodie.”
The film screening and Q&A via was with the African American Marketplace and S.E. Manly Short Film Showcase.
I’ll try to see if I can get the recording of it with the cast, including the lovely Loretta Devine, the director, producer, casting director, music composers, etc.
This is a great and very impactful film that I hope to be taken to even a larger scale such as to feature film status 🙏🏽
