Traci Townsend (2007)
Great Film
I just saw this film last night at the Pan African film festival in Atlanta. I was very impressed by the cast, script, and direction of the film. It was a good idea and well executed. My only complaint is the look of the film. At times it was grainy and looked like it was done on a home video camera. That still doesn't take away from the great performance that Jaszmine Lewis put on.
I would love to see this in major theaters, or even just art houses throughout the country. It tells a great story to and about black women... I look forward to seeing more work from Craig Ross Jr and Bobby Thompson.
Allergic to Nuts (2003)
Pretty good short
This short features recognizable actors like Vanessa Williams and Yolonda Ross. Lavita (Yolonda Ross) is hosting her first dinner party since her recent divorce, and she invites a few friends over. Nervous about hosting in her new home as well as having a new handsome stranger over, Lavita is blushing like a school girl. Things take a strange turn when Jennie (Vanessa Williams) begins to act hysterical. She interrupts the party by locking herself in the bathroom refusing to come out. By the end of this short film, the party has ended without even a bite of food had, the guests have vanished, and a shocking secret is revealed.
There were a few awkward scenes in the beginning, but this was the best of 4 shorts that I viewed last night at a film review in Atlanta.
