It's not just about money. Brad Pitt was touted as an A list for years despite flop after flop. This doesn't address white supremacy or how young Black children are being trained to accept degradation by the media, why there's a dearth of projects written/produced/directed by Black women either.<BR/><BR/>But since I live in SF I look forward to seeing this film and I can certainly appreciate his drive and positivity. It really helps to have support, resources and access when we need it!Faith at Acts of Faith Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150553143062604249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526861933315009124.post-52936319503759205702008-10-17T16:59:00.000-07:002008-10-17T16:59:00.000-07:00It's a fabulous film--as a black San Franciscan I ...It's a fabulous film--as a black San Franciscan I was one of those souls who blogged about it--thanks so much for the interview.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18143632595379362558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526861933315009124.post-49918361972128657262008-10-15T21:41:00.000-07:002008-10-15T21:41:00.000-07:00Nice stuff, we need good black filmsNice stuff, we need good black filmsWonder Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16723949771552274515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526861933315009124.post-31177546037606254502008-10-15T18:37:00.000-07:002008-10-15T18:37:00.000-07:00For a second, I thought that was a picture of me u...For a second, I thought that was a picture of me up there!

I think back to films like <I>Love Jones</I>, that were generally like by people, and it's so disappointing to see that it's not even available on DVD anymore. If people don't support the films they will disappear, just like Barry said.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if it's been mentioned here, but I just received a DVD for a doc called <I>Angels Can't Help but Laugh</I>.<BR/><BR/>http://angelscanthelpbutlaugh.com<BR/><BR/>Check the site for details. I though it was very sobering to just see these women talk about their experiences. I know some of these actresses get ridiculed in the media and I think this cuts through a lot of that and just shows them as people trying to find solutions to many of the problems that are discussed on this blog.Qadreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694599367827916970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526861933315009124.post-91055433754796662052008-10-14T14:35:00.000-07:002008-10-14T14:35:00.000-07:00Thanks for posting this interview IW.

I know well the struggles of getting a black independent movie with "no stars" out into the marketplace. I wish Barry all the luck in the world.Invisible Handhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14668783163859456216noreply@blogger.com
