Back in 2000, I co-produced a movie called
Retiring Tatiana. Shot on the cheap, the movie was written by the star,
Tony Winters. Shot in L.A. and in Tony's home town of Detroit, the film got both a video and DVD release and was featured in that year's Pan-African Film Festival where it took home the "Audience Award." (That was a pretty big deal because the film was in competition with movies like
Jim Jarmusch's Ghost Dog, starring
Forest Whitaker.)
Tony has since written a number of other scripts (including a fantastic bio-pic about Sam Cooke) and several plays. He's now looking to raise money for a production of his most recent project,
One Night at the Peacock Hotel. Check it out on KickStarter
