Black Dynamite Premiere in Hollywood, CA


I was lucky enough to attend the Hollywood, CA premiere of BLACK DYNAMITE! I was laughing throughout the entire film. It was good. The film had a tribute to my client Gloria Hendry. Who was much involved in black exploitation films. Films such as, Black Ceaser, Black Belt Jones and Hell up in Harlem just to name a few. Please go check this film out you won't be disappointed.  synopsis: This is the story of 1970s African-American action legend Black Dynamite. The Man killed his brother, pumped heroin into local orphanages, and flooded the ghetto with adulterated malt liquor. Black Dynamite was the one hero willing to fight The Man all the way from the blood-soaked city streets to the hallowed halls of the Honky House..
Here are some photos from the red carpet and from my camera.... I want to add It was a real pleasure meeting Arsenio Hall, he has a great aura.

Now here are some behind the red carpet I took with my camera....LOL

D.Woods "GRAY AREA"




D.Woods just had a successful listening party in Atlanta last week for her new CD entitled "GRAY AREA". Please read the blog that she wrote for Global Grind.
This is the moment we've all been waiting for!
I, D. Woods, will be releasing some music!!! Trust me boys and girls, I've been more anxious than you. Over the past year, I've existed in one of the most awkward situations yet in my life. Both loving and hating the profession I've chosen for myself, in bondage and then breaking free from contractual chains, both visible and obscure on the world stage, excited but also scared to death of what's to come. It was exactly as my attorney repeatedly described my termination from DK as while prying me out of the contract, "a gray area".
I was in limbo. I'm sure there are lots of artists and people in other lines of work feeling the same thing. In order to relate to others, I described my situation like the many who found themselves unemployed at the end of 2008 and throughout 2009. So what did you guys do while in your "gray area"? Some of you are still in it right?
Well what I did was what I've been doing since 3 years old, what I love doing and can't help but to do no matter what's happening, that's staying creative.
Reintroducing myself to myself, detoxing my psyche from the negative images, comments and  stereotypes that were forced on me, and just letting everything I held back for the last 2 1/2 years flow, I ended up with the beginning of a body of work that is truly D.Woods. I say the beginning because the metamorphisis is still in progress. But I've come to realize that I'm not just doing this for me,  I want those out there who've been rooting for me to see, hear and rock out to the work I've been doing.
So, on 12.08.09 Woodgrane Entertainment (that's my company yall ;) in partnership with Bonzi/Fontana UMD presents D.Woods' "The Gray Area" will be available online through all the  online music stores!  Thank you for hitting me up on twitter, myspace,  if u saw me in the mall or late night at Kroger, booking me at ur clubs in your city etc.
It fueled the fire to get me through THE GRAY AREA!  Xoxo!
Join the movement!

UnSung on TVone

My client, actress  Toi Troutman will be featured on TVone's "UnSung"on November 2, 2009 at 8:00pm. along with her family, Snoop Dogg and DJ Quik.  I know you remember the songs "Computer Love" and  "California Love" featuring 2Pac and Dr. Dre. By the way, I was featured in the California Love Video. If your new to UnSung; it's a series that profiles some of the most influential, talented yet forgotten R&B, Soul and Gospel artists of the 1970's '80s and '90s.  I watched the show before when they profiled Shalamar. UnSung shows the true story of Black music in America and runs much deeper.  Make sure you check it out.

Point Foundation Charity Event in Hollywood, CA

I had the pleasure of attending the Point Foundation Charity in Hollywood. My client
Frenchie Davis was singing for the event. The Point Foundation provides financial support, mentoring, leadership training and hope to meritorious students who are marginalized due to sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. The event was a class act 100%.  I really enjoyed myself, not to mention that the food was outstanding (yummy) and I was able to meet one of my all time favorite actresses Lily Tomlin....I love her.  Remember when she was in 9 to 5 with Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda, great movie.  Another one of my favs is The Incredible Shrinking Woman. To date, she is on the hit show Desperate Housewives. After Frenchie sang "I'm Changing" she got a standing ovation. Frenchie is so talented, and can sing like nobody I have ever heard.  Below are the photos from Point Foundation Charity Event.









Short Film One Nothing


Short Film "One Nothing" has been accepted at The Hollywood Film Festival. The film will be shown on October 23rd at 9:00 at the ArcLight Theater in Hollywood, California. 


Synopsis:
Sometimes imagination is enough

It's a hot summer day in Los Angeles when a young African American man (Dre Bowie)
Climbs a fence to play basketball on opposing turf. He soon discovers he's being watched
by two Hispanics (Gabe Lozano, David Rusi) and must decided how to diffuse the tension between them. What follows is an unexpected encounter and revelation. Carmine Giovianzzo from CSI:NY Lab
has a cameo in the film.

A bold look at sterotypes, imagination and urban decay, "One Nothing" challenges us to look beyound the surface for new answers to old problems. And sometimes, imagination is enough.

For more information please check out website One Nothing official website





We Are Family




D.Woods, Frenchie Davis and Karlie Lewis just completed working on a new comedy entitled "We Are Family" The plot: Six strangers are invited to a home under false pretense and eventually find out they are all brothers and sisters. I was on set while they were filming at a beautiful house in malibu. I had the pleasure of meeting some of the cast; Chyna Layne (Precious: Based on the novel Sapphire) a very talented actress, Monique Coleman (High School Musical), Christian Keyes (Actor/Model) and Omarosa of whom I thought was very pleasant. Everyone on set was professional and everything went smoothly. I enjoyed meeting and working the crew from Tri Destined Studios, Trey (Director), Jeff, Indie and Veronica. I also had the pleasure of meeting Gregory Anderson (Stomp the Yard). All in All the film is hilarious and I can't wait till the film hit Theaters 2010. Check out the press photos.


Here are some behind the scene photos that I took with my camera...I guess you can add photographer to my many talents! LOL
