I had a lot of fun creating this joint. Funny thing is, I hadn’t seen most of America and this one took me to Hayti, Missouri. It was hot as hell, my braids were sweating tf out, mosquitoes were killing my boy @chillvibes and @ronmccantsjr was pushing for a clear story and @alain_inthecut was sauced up in the editing bae. Such a cool thang where this film journey will take you and I think it was this piece where folks really saw I could do things outside of just comedy. I know soon folks are going to see I can do anything involving a camera lol I probably could still tell a whole story without one ???? I love being a storyteller I don’t really consider myself as anything else. I’m thankful for the cast @pjaiparker and @officially.lt for getting in the sandbox with me. I’ll never retire from doing what I am so my only hope is to inspire as many souls along the way. I’ll drop the trailer in a bit. Peace ✌???? oh and if u want my website is up better than EVUH!!

We’re proud to announce the winners of the TDE Films Inaugural Short Film Fund, a new initiative supporting bold, original storytelling from emerging filmmakers. Congratulations Diamond Batiste, Ciara Boniface, Brittany Young, Alejandra López and Jeremy Hsing! TDE Films’ Short Film Fund champions emerging filmmakers throughout production on their narrative short film, providing them with essential resources – including full financial backing – to bring their creative vision to life.

The company will also provide creative guidance on the projects, serving as executive producers alongside the filmmakers. “Our goal with TDE Films’ Short Film Fund is to assemble a roster of filmmakers who have powerful stories to tell and support them with the financing, tools, resources and mentorship they need to thrive in TV and film. We have a track record of creating the biggest artists in the world who are known for their fearless storytelling.
