Looking for something to do this weekend? Check out the film, ALBANY ROAD, starring Renée Goldsberry and Lynn Whitfield.

When director Christine Swanson approached me about helping her find funding for this beautiful indie project and stated she needed to start production in 65 days, at first, I thought no way, yet God makes a way.

One phone call to my good friend, Dr. Lois Johnson, and her creative financing mind went to work. Just in time for production, ALL the money arrived. (Whew!)

When the co-starring role suddenly became available, I remembered a phenomenal actress I shared a house with in Martha's Vineyard. One text message to Lynn Whitfield - who I knew would crush the part - and days later, she was onboard and on set.

So many other magical moments like this happened. One phone call to a picture car coordinator Leonard Jefferson - a friend from the ALL EYEZ ON ME film - and he was in. Another phone call to our longtime family friend, Dr. Anes Abraham, and the most magnificent quilt made its way to set.

Just a few wins, but critical to production. It takes a village to make a film. Couldn't be happier to see all the love from audiences so far.

If you can, please check out Albany Road in AMC Theaters now.
Take the journey you never knew you needed.
Let me know what you think.

Thank you in advance.

One of the best to ever do it, Actor Lou Gossett, Jr.

Thank you for sharing with gift with us. Powerful performances in AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMEN and, most recently, 2023's THE COLOR PURPLE.

Rest in Power, sir.

Gossett was the first Black man to win an Oscar for supporting actor. He also founded the Eracism Foundation to help create a world where racism doesn't exist.

Regina King’s terrific performance can’t overcome a film that focuses on the achievements of an extraordinary figure and not who she was as a person.

So enjoyed working on SHIRLEY and can't wait for you to see this one. Regina King is masterful as SHIRLEY CHISHOLM - the first African American congresswoman. More behind-the-scenes details to come.
Netflix - March 22nd.
