Good Movies 'bout Black Folks

About Me

My name is Mike D. I don't sing. I don't dance. I make movies. I also show and promote them at Philadelphia's only monthly showcase devoted to African-American film. If you've got a movie made by or starring Black Folks, please send it my way. We're currently seeking work for Season 5. Please send a VHS or DVD screening copy (not returnable) along with a bio and synopsis to:REELBLACK PRESENTS PO Box 12302 Philadelphia, PA 19119
