LET'S SUPPORT OUR OWN!
Subject: BLACK FILM - "ASUNDER"
A new film by Tim Reid is coming to selected theaters. The movie is called "Asunder" and stars Blair Underwood and Michael Beach (Waiting to Exhale, Soul Food). Help make this work. Please send this to as many people as possible so this will be a successful film.
This is the first movie in 55 years written, directed, and produced by blacks, made in a black owned studio, distributed by blacks, AND based on a novel written by a black author. (Trois was not filmed in a black studio). Tim Reid (WKRP in Cincinnati "Venus Flytrap", Simon and Simon, Frank's Place and Sister Sister) has been very vocal about the plight of black films, shows, and actors. His own show "Links" was dropped by ShowTime.
Well known names have talked about blacks owning and distributing their own stuff but Tim has actually done it. If we do not support the project during its 1st week the big box office debut), it will be much harder for this and other Black films to get into the theater mainstream. Of the 500+ films released each year, only about 8 are "black" films. That's not even 2%!
Support the effort!
