So I went to a screening and film discussion the other night in hopes of meeting John Singleton. The movie being shown was "Hustle & Flow", the film which garnered the largest bid ever at Sundance Film Festival this year. First off let me say that the film was fantastic. The writing was good, and the directing was on point. This guy Craig Brewer (writer/director) has a bright future ahead. Taryn Manning seemed to be in her element as a prostitute, and Terrence D. Howard was brilliant as ever. The panel included Stephen Farber, Stephanie Allain (producer Paramount), Taraji P. Henson (Baby Boy), and John himself. I met Taraji and she is so real. She seems just like one of those girls you grew up with if you're from one of those neighborhoods. I did get to meet John, congratulate him on his body of work, and give him my pics and resume, begging him to consider me as his next protege ala Tyrese, Ice Cube, and Taraji herself. All in all, I had a good night out by myself, and I can only hope something good can come of it :)
