The screening of Lia was a great success! The hall at Streatham Library was fully packed, and everyone had popcorn at the ready. An exclusive screening of 'Sistas with Locks' was shown prior to Lia showing, and then afterwards was a short Q&A with the cast and crew.  Overall the feedback was very good! There are points in the film that stand out (no spoilers here!) but these moments were discussed amongst the actors, and it’s affect on them. A short dedication went to the woman, who’s son suffers from sickle cell disease, who was the inspiration for this aspect of the film. Here are some photos from the event.

Brixton Rock Casting

Details: Short film/teaser based on the successful book 'Brixton Rock' by Alex Wheatle Filming late January- Feb 2015 for 2 days Paid About: Teaser will be used to raise funds for the feature film Brixton Rock so there is the possibility of being cast for the feature as well. Brixton Rock is a passion project currently 8 years in the making and a vision held by everyone involved. Please do not apply if you are not serious or unable to commit to at least 2 rehearsals before filming.

Character breakdown: - Brenton brown - 17 years old (or can pass for 17-18 yrs old) - Mixed Race or light skinned (could pass for mixed race) Afro or big hair - Cockney, London accent, emotional, aggressive - Medium/ strong build

I am looking for an actor who has a strong emotional range, with the ability to portray years of pain and suffering through his eyes. Brenton is a child from the ruthless 70’s care system who is confronting his mother for the first time in 17 years. Actor must be able to quickly loose his temper and comfortable with profanity. Brenton is the main character in this film and therefore we are looking for an actor that can embody this character and truefully portray his emotions. Knowledge of the book ‘Brixton Rock’ by Alex Wheatle is an advantage, as is familiarity with the 70's and 80's London era. More character information will be given to successful applicants. Please email [email protected] with CVs, Headshots and why you feel you would be great for this role.

---------- UPDATE ---------- An actor has been found! But please 'Follow' this blog for future casting announcements. Thank you.

Antonia (trailer)*

A bold Brazilian melodrama that moves to the rhythm of the streets, “Antonia” traces a year in the lives of four young women who form a rap group and fend off tragedy. Tired of singing backup to male rap stars, Preta (Negra Li), Lena (Cindy), Barbarah (Leilah Moreno) and Mayah (Quelynah) — all successful musicians in real life — rehearse their own music and acquire an agent. But when the group falls prey to brutal violence, internal jealousies and an unplanned pregnancy, the girls learn that escape from poverty will require more than fierce rhymes. The third feature in a trilogy by Tata Amaral, “Antonia” pulses with color and movement. Filmed in the São Paulo suburb of Vila Brasilândia, the movie has an earthy realism underscored by naturalistic performances and a restless camera. Maximizing her nonprofessional cast of Brazilian hip-hop performers, the director fills the soundtrack with a vibrant blend of R&B, soul and rap. When the group sings an a cappella version of “Killing Me Softly,” you may forget to breathe. via
