CHOICES...MAKE THEM COUNT!
As I still continued to squeeze in movies from the Cinetopia Film Festival that started June 1, 2017 and runs to June, 11 2017, one film that THE REEL HUSTLER couldn't miss was "Destined", a film written and directed by Detroit native Qasim "Q" Basir. I have been knowing Q since his very first film that he filmed while living in Detroit and although now residing in Los Angeles he still holds Detroit in his heart and that is why he has filmed his last two movies (Mooz-Lum and Destined) in Detroit. He also wanted to come home and premier his film since it had been four years since his last movie was screened here. He also brought along some of the actors from the film Cory Hardrict and Jason Dohring to attend the red carpet premier that was headed off with a small intimate meet and greet where there was also a special presentation from another Detroit native, acclaimed Grammy, Tony, Emmy and Webby award winner and nominate songwriter Allee Willis. Allee has written songs for the likes of Earth, Wind and Fire, Patti Labelle, The Pointer Sisters, Sister Sledge and a host of others. After the screening premier, there was a Q&A with Q and the actors to which I did not stay to the end, but later found out that Q proposed to the beautiful woman that has been holding him down. Congratulations Q!!!
This is my life, the life of THE REEL HUSTLER!!!
