American Black Film Festival
The ABFF was definitely on point this year. If you haven't been you need to go, it definitely blows Essence out of the water. I really enjoyed the movies and as you can tell I was feeling the atmosphere. For those that haven't been this festival is to celebrate independent black films. The opening movie was Shadowboxer starring Cuba Gooding Jr. who did an outstanding job as a hitman who becomes a family man. Monique from The Parkers fame did an outstanding job also. There were several very good movies "Miles from Home" "Confessions of a Call Girl" "Traci Townsend" were some of the better ones. As far as star power: Jim Brown, Robert Townsend, Mari Marrow, Jazsmin Lewis, Loretta Devine, Elise Neal, Anthony Mackie, and Magic Johnson. Word on the street is that it might change locations next year. The ABFF did get a little hood on the weekend, but anytime you got cute women, money and stars around the hood element is gonna represent. Still I would go if they had it in Beuirut (j/k)
