i saw this film 10 years ago, when i was still living in NYC and ms. davis did a question and answer session after the film… i was a hunter student, having transferred from baruch (the college she was at) too… i don’t even know how i found out about the film, but i’m glad i went. i greatly identified with cicely and the body issues she had. i saw the film again a couple of years back, and i identified even more. it’s wonderful to see the film still in the midst of dialog.

and yeah, as danny glover and the existence of this film and ‘sankofa’ can attest, the industry will not fund any positive messages about black life, with an all-black cast. and so the public will rarely be exposed to alternatives.

keep on keeping on, and you will be rewarded accordingly. much peace…

Ah, man, Rob. I remember when this flick came out back in the day. Tim told me about it. I had no idea this was fam. Still so much to learn. Wish I could be there on the 7th of next month for the opening. Maybe. Regardless, blow the doors off and have a blast. Filmmaking is not for the meek and y’all brought one home. Congrats! – B
