PAFF postscript

Well the PAFF wrapped up today with the awards brunch being held at the PAFF bistro inside the Baldwin Hills shopping mall. Ralph came along with me and we nibbled and mingled. Robert Townsend and Kimberly Elise were among the notables.

But the “reel stars” if you will, were the filmmakers themselves! While we were among the nominees for Best Short, AHHS alas came away empty handed. We were thrilled to be among the 163 chosen out of 2,500 and 1 of only 8 shorts in competition.

I was happy to see Cordially Invited directed by Michael Fouther with producing help from his wife Lesa walk away with an Honorable Mention in the all important Audience Award category. AHHS’s own Emayatzy Corinealdi is one of the stars in their ensemble wedding pic.

The Pan African Film Fest was a wonderful event. I look forward to attending future fests and hopefully submitting more films.
