This Past Weekend
We completed principal photography for the short film 14 to Fate. The cast was amazing. After a couple of weeks of rehearsal, they showed up ready to go. They were patient and helpful, be even more, told the story well. It was nice to have familiar faces like Ron Clemons and Debra Buchanan, but also welcome new actors with this project.
We all had moments of “ooh, that was good!”
Wardrobe was designed by Bridgette Thompson who is incredible. She had such a vision for each character and her clothing help bring out more of the character. She and her sewing machine helped make movie magic.
Sharli Ratliff helped design the production and carve out the vision for this project.
Hope Anderson was the Assistant Director, production assistant, camera person, driver, caterer, etc. Without her, this would not be the project it has been shaped into. Her leadership kept us on time and on task.
Kimani Oletu did some of the camera, which you will see is very nice.
We had fun. We made movie magic.
I can’t wait for you to see it.

Art of the Month
We Dig
In 2021 the art series with examine moments in African American history in an attempt to UNERASE our past.
Historically the myth teaches us that Africans were brought to the Americas and taught a skill. It had us believing that the Africans were untrained labor dependent on European knowledge.
According to Toby Green in Fistful of Shells, when Europeans landed on the African continent, they were amazed at the crops the natives produced. The tribes had been trading in the Middle East for centuries. Europeans recognized the skills how well the tribes cultivated the earth around them.
Instead of creating deals to share information and wealth, these sinister Europeans bartered with tribes to steal the individuals who could cultivate fields on foreign soil. They would take these tribal skills and make themselves rich while depriving the people who did the work any of the wealth or benefit from it.
They would transport people from the African coasts to the Americas and grow crops of sugar, rice, and later cotton, peanuts and so much more.

A Closer Look
In February we will take a closer look at things. We will get up close and personal. In place of larger landscapes we will dive off into what makes up the whole.
Something winter has taught me is that underneath the blanket of snow is peace. I find peace in the small things. The snow sits on the leaf like it was made for it.
