Post Production is complete. Sound designer @ikeboogie added the final touches. It's been a long journey to this point personally and professionally but we made it. WE MADE IT! I was not alone. My superstar actresses who did HEAVY emotional lifting. Every take I watched over and over again, reminded me of ya'lls brilliance, talent, and creative tenacity: BRAVO!!!! @cartertene and @carleesoeder Grateful to my below the line village ESPECIALLY line producer @shandramcdonald Moral support from AP's: @chrisbealprods @cinemomo @ronharmony and my DP who arrived in a pinch with additional editing and closing credits @carlaserranocrespo 🏆 AND my producers who helped finish the film after @reweinat master edit: @iamstaciehawk @patrickjamesthomas ...and to all of my WHITE TEARS ANGELS who contributed with making this film happen! Every donation counted! THANK YOU ALL!!! ....to my eternal producers in spirit 💛 @dorothymom 💛 and Dad 🙏🏽and Lee... ....and to my inspiration for this project: the countless lives lost because of overagressive policing... This film was done in your honor because.... WHITE TEARS DON'T HAVE TO HAPPEN!!! My prayer is that people will think more seriously about all the #Karens who don't give a second thought about the deadly consequences that often happen because of their phone calls. People joke about them but Karens are Dangerous. #whitetearsfilm #priscillabelleproductions

PUEBLO VIEJO trailer is live ✨💚 In a 1970s Mexican village, a boy’s first night out with his father at the local cantina forces him to face the dark truth of manhood in a place like Pueblo Viejo. Set against the memory of a real village in Sinaloa, Mexico, “Pueblo Viejo” explores how far a boy will go to outrun who he is, just to feel worthy in his father’s eyes. To my loveliest collaborators, actors & crew, thank you for bringing so much of yourselves to this project. Your craft shines and beats through every frame of the film. Shooting this in two days was a feat, and I wouldn’t have asked for it any other way. I’m so proud of the challenges. I grew… thanks to you all who stood by me every step of the way.

✨ More moments from Sunday’s BronzeLens Film Festival Awards Ceremony! I had such an amazing time attending both weekends of the festival—and when I tell you, the films I screened and the talent in the house…WOW! 🙌🏽 This is why I continue to show up and support BronzeLens. I always leave inspired—more committed to continuing my journey as an actor and more open to wherever creativity may lead me next…perhaps filmmaking, producing, or something I haven’t even imagined yet. A special shout-out to our Atlanta filmmakers and to every filmmaker, nominee, winner, producer, director, cast member, crew member, volunteer, and supporter who helped make this year’s festival so special. Congratulations to you all! 📣🎉 Thank you, @kathleenbertrand and @bronzelens, for continuing to create a space that celebrates our stories, honors our artistry, and reminds us of what is possible. 💛✨ 17th Annual BronzeLens Awards The fun was had 😆 Okay Sean, we see you 😂 Our Madam President, SAGAFTRA! Those beautiful smiles ✨ Look who I caught up with…good to see you Maurice!! These three …I see y’all!😂 🤣 😆 💛 When I introduced myself and asked Mr. Egan what his film was about, I was intrigued. He encouraged me to see it. I’m not a sports kind of person but wanted to support the film. So glad I did. I couldn’t stop talking to the hubby about it. A great documentary that has now won Best International Film! Congrats! 🏆👏🏽 📸 💛 Fell so in love with Love, Patrick film! And it ended up winning three awards! Congratulations to the Horn Brothers! 🙌🏽 🎉🏆 Had a great time talking with Ms. Deidre and her friend on friendship. Anyone who knows her, loves her. There’s now a new award category to be called the Deidre McDonald Award! Oh yes he played that sax !!!🎷 😍 📸💛✨ Hey Cuz!😍 Hey Tracy! 💛 Always good to see Monique! 🩷 What joy chatting it up with Dinesha Haynes. She worked on A Mess of Memories.
