  • The House on Coco Road
    THE HOUSE ON COCO ROAD THE HOUSE ON COCO ROAD A FILM BY DAMANI BAKER Duration — 78 min Contact — Damani Baker [[email protected]] Trailer — Vimeo Facebook | Twitter | Instagram www.TheHouseOnCocoRoad.com synopsis — "The House on Coco Road" is an intimate portrait of an activist and teacher who moves her children from Oakland, California to participate in the Grenada Revolution only to find her family in harms way of a U.S. military invasion. It is the filmmaker’s search for historical and emotional truth that will confirm his mother’s place in American history. 4 long synopsis — In 1979 the Grenadian people carry out the first successful revolution in the English - speaking Caribbean. Maurice Bishop becomes prime minister. The Revolution attracts workers from around the world including my mother, Fannie Haughton. In 1982 Angela Davis, her family, and my mother visit Grenada to witness this miraculous Peoples’ Revolution. In 1983 my mother is offered a position in the Ministry of Education and we leave our home in Oakland and move to Grenada. I’d never seen her happier. Grenada was briefly our home. In 1983 the United States led a military invasion following the assassination of the young popular prime minister, Maurice Bishop. We hid under the bed for three days as bombs shook our new paradise, and changed its course forever. Sixteen years later, in 1999, I returned to Grenada with my mother, and began shooting a documentary film, searching for her story, one that felt not just untold but unfinished. In 2014, I discovered a box of family Super-8 footage of my great-grandmother in rural Louisiana on the land our family sharecropped and my grandmother’s migration west.

  • Tasha Smith Bio
    TASHA SMITH BIO Tasha Smith is a multifaceted actress whose work brings style and intensity to the subjects she plays on the big and small screens. She currently stars in the Tyler Perry television series, “FOR BETTER OR WORSE,” on OWN for which she earned an NAACP Image Award nomination as “Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series.” Smith‟s memorable portrayal of „Angela,‟ in Perry‟s box office hits, “WHY DID I GET MARRIED?” and its sequel, “WHY DID I GET MARRIED, TOO?”, alongside Janet Jackson and Jill Scott, sparked the creation of the spin-off series which is focused around her relationship with onscreen husband, „Marcus,‟ played by Michael Jai White. She will next be seen on the silver screen in Lionsgate‟s upcoming feature, “ADDICTED,” with Sharon Leal and Boris Kodjoe. The film, adapted from the popular erotic fiction novel which follows trials and tribulations of a successful sex-addicted African-American businesswoman, is slated for an October 10, 2014 theatrical release. Additionally, Smith was just tapped for Fox‟s Lee Daniels hip-hop drama pilot, “EMPIRE,” in a recurring role opposite Taraji P. Henson. Smith‟s other film credits include Tyler Perry‟s “DADDY’S LITTLE GIRLS” (Lionsgate), as “Jennifer” opposite Idris Elba and Gabrielle Union.

  • Tyler Perry – the Trailblazer Award Waco Theater Center, 2019
    TYLER PERRY – THE TRAILBLAZER AWARD WACO THEATER CENTER, 2019 On Saturday, June 1, 2019, actor, playwright and filmmaker Tyler Perry will receive The Trailblazer Award at WACO Theater Center’s Wearable Art Gala in Los Angeles. Perry’s inspirational journey from the hard streets of New Orleans to the heights of Hollywood's A-list is the stuff of American legend. Born into poverty and raised in a household scarred by abuse, Perry fought from a young age to find the strength, faith and perseverance that would later form the foundations of his much-acclaimed plays, films, books and shows. It was a simple piece of advice from Oprah Winfrey that set Perry's career in motion. Encouraged to keep a diary of his daily thoughts and experiences, he began writing a series of soul-searching letters to himself. The letters, full of pain and in time, forgiveness, became a healing catharsis. His writing inspired a musical, I Know I've Been Changed, and in 1992, Perry gathered his life's savings in hopes of staging it for sold out crowds. He spent all the money but the people never came, and Perry once again came face to face with the poverty that had plagued his youth. He spent months sleeping in seedy motels and his car but his faith - in God and, in turn, himself - only got stronger. He forged a powerful relationship with the church, and kept writing. In 1998 his perseverance paid off and a promoter booked I Know I've Been Changed for a limited run at a local church-turned-theatre.
